Calypso Ltwt -- does it have liners?

[johnniet]

This will be a pretty short topic. :^)
I wasn't able to find the answer through a forum search. I have found that I strongly prefer knives with stiffer handles than Zytel by itself.

No, it does not have liners. However the handle is thicker than my delica.

Johnniet - Zytel is a type of nylon that will accept and mix with fiberglass. Also known as "Glass filled Nylon" or "FRN" (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon).

Some FRN materials are actually "Stiffer" than a steel liner. this is one of those areas where the difference between the "Good" pieces and the "Knock offs" is more evident.

A well made FRN handle has been proven to: take much abuse, remain stiff, not easily scratched, built in texture, lower price and relatively impervious to many conditions (such as salt water).

Thoughts to share.
