I fear versions of this question has been asked a million times, but I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for via searches here, on Google, and on some supplier sites, etc.

I'm looking for black linen micarta...the only place I've found that has it is USA Knifemaker, but I'm looking for something smaller diameter than what he has. McMaster doesn't seem to have black...Texas Knifemaker appears to be canvas(?) but they are out of stock regardless.

Thanks in advance for any leads!

You'll want to search for "phenolic rod".

I've used that search term in the past, but not recently...thanks for the reminder.

The rod is all the same...probably paper, but maybe linen.

Are you referring to the K&G listing, or ??? I'm finding material that's specified as being linen, but not in the right size and/or color. McMaster-Carr seems to have paper, canvas, and linen (G-10 too, I think) all under Garolite, but again they don't have the linen in black. USA Knifemaker specifies black linen, but in a larger size than I want. I did not see K&G specifiying what theirs was made of.

Thanks!
 
All the black rod I have purchased came from knife suppliers, like K&G. Looking back now, I see it was linen. It should not matter much what type of material it is made from, as all you will see is a black dot when the handle is finished. IIRC, I ordered it in 1/8, 3/16, and 1/4 inch.
