Nice blade shape! :thumbup:

I was recently curious about using TREX as a handle material, how is the grip?

Thanks, its pretty grippy, I sanded to 320 then hit it lightly with 600, oiled and wiped clean similar to the g10 method

Thanks! I used some of the first generation trex about 10 years ago and it has held up really well, not very elaborate but its a fun material and scratches and use barely show

Makes me wish I'd saved more from the decks I've built 😎

Like them all. Can you tell me more about the trex material? As mentioned, was it used for more durable decking? Is there some give to it so it is comfortable in hand? Lastly, what is the blade thickness to the last one. Nice job.

The TREX is used instead of wood at a premium price for decks because of durability and resistance to elements. It feels similar to micarta in hand but less dense. The last knife is forged from 1/4 stock
