The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

No, it's pizza delivery. I messed up a metric to English conversion.






...yes, that is some old micarta. The post before mine had asked for a picture of it.


We have burned through about half of our antique micarta. This is not antique, it is "vintage", but we are hopeful that it will be some good material.
 
^ we are in very safe hands with you because you'd never go retro or even worse, go metro!

Oh ANAQ, so here is the questions: when will that vintage make its first production appearance? Would it be a good emblishment for the CPK-Folders as an inlay if you don't wish to waste the remaining antique stash on experimenting?

We cut up one piece of it today. It's pretty blah. It's a high quality material. Nice, old school, high density micarta. Back when the micarta name meant something. When you can sever a peace with an old skill saw and the cut is not fuzzy, you know they did a pretty good job getting the resin fully infused into the textiles, and I can look at the sheet and tell you it was not a rolled pulltrusion, this was pressed between plates. But it's not the beautiful streaky freaky stuff we have with the antique Westinghouse.

We're going to offer it as a scales option for people who want a material that's probably a little better than you can get today, and don't need the beauty of the antique Westinghouse material for their use. That stack of material was only 17 grand, I don't need to charge an arm and a leg for it, so this might be a good option for people who want the performance and feel of the old micarta without the high price tag associated with it.
 
If not I highly recommend getting the Wayne Gretzy of Internet providers before hand if
You want to compete with 50+ others to the first and only second it matters.

I wont even waste my time trying. My only hope to score one direct is if NTM the BA he is (💋) brings some of the last few to Blade show as I think Ive seen him mention he might 👍
