Gmascus Handle Material

[sunny_2_75]

Hello, Does anyone know where to get Gmascus?can you even buy Gmascus? Ive seen it on a number of semi-auto grips and Hogue knives. I was wondering if this was exclusive to Hogue?

Maybe try something like this:

I'd try to check the knife suppliers and see what types of G10 laminated they have.

Anyone carrying this material yet?

Im pretty sure that the Gmascus was just layered G10 that was sanded down in some places to show the layers

G-Mascus® is proprietary to Hogue.

A few years ago we toured the factory where G-Mascus® is made. The pattern is in the G10 when the material is made. We asked if the sheet material would be available for us to buy and the factory said no.

We do have multicolor G10 combinations for sale:

Can you create a similar effect by epoxying several thin layers of g10 together?
