grivory?

It looks to me like it is a handle material used mostly in injection molding. There are many different grades, but a few of them look like they would be tough enough to make a good handle.
 
They are makeing new plastic knives like the cat tanto and the delta dart only the new ones appear to have kraton handles and grivory blades. If my thinking is correct grivory is kinda like the stuff that becker handles are made of which is really tough stuff. Also it's kinda odd that cold steel would be saleing these since california has a law against those types of knives.
 
Grivory is a specific brand of FRN. Like "Zytel" from DuPont. Grivory is from Germany I think.

It may be odd but they sell the current CAT and dart from California.

They have other items restricted in California which they sell from Texas. On the webpage devoted to their Arc-Angel butterfly knives they have this notice:

This website is based in California. Because Butterfly type knives are illegal for sale in California, we are offering them for sale from our Texas office. Orders for other items on this website must be processed out of our California office. Shipping charges, sales tax and other charges, incurred on this site are not transferable to items purchased from our Texas office. In simpler terms, consider an order for an Arc-Angel™ folder as an order placed at another, entirely separate, company.

It's all a game, until it becomes too much of a burden. Then companies move out altogether. Mission and Buck decided California was too much trouble to continue doing business there, so the state loses jobs and tax revenue, but regains its purity, being free now of those evil knives. :rolleyes:
 
The California penal code only states that a knife have enough metal in it to set off a meta detector set at the standard calibration. They adhear to this by attaching a thin ring through the pommel that could be easily removed with a pair of sissors in a swiss army knife.
Those bastards.

Don't forget Benchmade which moved to Oregon from California in the mid 90s. California basically showed them the door. And now, about ten years later, Benchmade is happily settled in Oregon City, Oregon creating many, many jobs, paying their taxes, supporting other local businesses, and generally prospering the local economy.




As for Grivory, glass-filled polyamides are tough plastics.
