Generally As for G-10 has black for it's color.But I have 'Light-green G-10' only so I can not help using it for the handle fixed knives. Have you seen the stuffs made of Light-green G-10's? Then what're bros openions about it as handle material? I feel anxiety about the unmatching with the blade colors (Black or dark blue).
 
I think what you may have is G-11, Its supposed to be stronger than G-10. It will make a great handle, dont forget to wear a respirator as the dust is hazardous. And I woulnt worry all that much about it matching the blade. Experiment! Shawn

Stunning knife, handle almost looks like sheep horn when all the bark is ground off.


Give it a try
