Brown Stamina Wood...Strength?

[DDS]

How does the strength, durabilty and chemical resistance of a Stamina wood compare to a linen or canvas micarta material handle on a knife? Thanks for any feedback or comments!

Hello DDS...

There is not much to compare to Micarta in terms of strength or durability...

I made a few knives with Ebony Stamina wood...works nicely, seems less brittle than the dreaded "Dymondwood"...

One piece I had contained a flaw...This was the only problem...

Running Dog: Thanks for feedback. I have an opportunity to purchase an older knife with this material and I didn't have any idea how nice it was. Thanks!
