Anyone know where to get large sheets of micarta?

[storm9872001]

I've been looking for a source for large sheets of micarta and haven't had much luck. Something in the 2'x3' or 4'x8' range would be great. Anyone know where to find? Tired of all the waste from scale sets and the same with 12"x12" or so that most of the knife making supply places have.

Trugrit was selling sheets like that, last I knew.
Or, try Masecraft.

norplex comes up in google, seems about right, though ive never ordered from them

nationwideplastics.net look under phenolic sheets.

never used knifekits.com but i saw they had various thickness sheets

i wonder how much a 4'x8' sheet would cost with shipping ? sheffield knife supply catalog says they will sell whole sheets.

Shipping shouldn't be that bad. I ordered 2 ABS sheets of 2x4 feet and it ships for $15 via UPS. Takes ~2 weeks though.

that is much cheaper than i expected ! thank god.
