Natural linen micarta

[Stickypoint]

I need 1 block of natural linen micata. I'm finding slabs but
nothing big enough for an internal tang knife. Does anyone
have a source for this. I've tried the normal supply places.
Thanks
Dave Wardman

You can get any size, thickness, color, etc. you want from these people. They've been selling Micarta since 1924 or so.

I'd suggest getting a catalog from them.

I have taken three slabs of Micarta, milled the "center" slab the thickness of the tang, mortised a slot in it for the tang, and made a "sandwich" out of all three. Then used two Lovelass bolts through the tang.
I thought Sheffield had natural in 1 1/8", but they don't. They have most everything else, though.

How is their prices?

How is their prices?

Give them a call and ask. It would depend on what you want. They are direct, no middle man so I imagine they are competitive with most places.

The thing is, if they are the only people that have what you want, what difference does it make if it's +/- 10%?

Thanks for the help, I will try them tomorrow. You are right about the price, as it is now I have a bunch of time tied up in trying to find this stuff so I'm not overly concerned with the price. Alpha Knife Supply has the natural canvas micarta in about any size you want.
Thanks again
Dave

Angus-campbell had it. 1" thick by 1 1/2" wide by 6 ' costs $54.00. Real nice people to deal with.
