Thanks for looking!

 
its plastic countertop material. you can cut it with a saw. it sands and shapes easy but its a little slick. phillips handle shape will give a good grip though.
 
If I could afford it, I buy just about every knife you make :thumbup:

There's not one I didn't like :)
 
Same here, i like just about everything Phillip makes!
Phillip, how does the Corian compare to ivory Micarta?
 
Looks good. My corncerb with Corian, Fountainhead, etc has been that it is heavy as all getout. How does the knife feel?

Thanks! I should have used a lighter colored background, then the handle wouldn't be so washed out. Then the contours would be easier to see...

Very cool. What was it like working withthe corian? It sure is white.

It cuts, drills, grinds, and polishes easier than micarta. The only downside is that it's not as tough.
This stuff is very white, and it's somewhat translucent. I have some that Richard gave me that's more ivory colored. I'm looking forward to trying that out.

I don't think it's much heavier than micarta. Of course, micarta is heavier than most woods.... It feels fine to me. :)

Thanks, talon and Spearz. You two have definitely been some of my most dedicated supporters. But, Martin, when are you going to BUY another one? :D :foot:

Happy holidays, everybody!
