Different colored pin stock

JG Custom Metal Works · Jun 30, 2015

Does anyone know where to find different color G10 pin stock? I have black, brown micarta, brass, and nickle silver, but am looking for some other colors.

I'm making a knife right now with black scales with orange liners and it would be nice to have orange pins.

I've seen red and blue but no others. I'd like to get some white and possibly red.

One idea that I bounced around a while ago, was to use coloured fiberglass rods as pins. They would definitely be strong enough.

Just ordered a bunch from this company. There's some great deals to be had in the clearance section. Shipping is ungodly expensive though. I paid $27 for shipping and the longest rod in my order was 17".

Did you ever get the chance to use any of this stuff phorizt?

Thanks again for the info everyone.

Unfortunately my knifemaking time has been almost nonexistent the last month and I have not had a chance to use any of it yet.

Well I should get my order around the 27th. The only colors they have are black and white. Im excited about the white. I got enough to last a while.

I4marc- I checked those links and one seems to be outside the US. The other one doesn't seem to have any pics of the specific products on their site. I might give them a call soon though.

Here are some other coloured fiberglass rods I was looking at.

I'm not sure if they are hollow though.

Sounds like the ends are solid. This has me thinking the center is hollow
