This is not a size make often, so if you need some, let me know.

A 20" x 5" x 1" board is priced at $400 + $20 shipping
I can cut into 2" x 5" blocks for $45 each. + $7 flat shipping
Let me know what you need!

I also have 3/16" Thunderstorm kevlar sheets in stock.
1/8" 10x10" - $65 each SOLD OUT, can get more going.
3/16" 10x10" - $77 each
1/4" 10x10" - $101 each 1 left
3/8" 10x10" - $117 each SOLD OUT, can get more going.

TSK is an industrial made Kevlar composite, with brass fibers running through it.

The other cool aspect of this material is high heat resistance. It is rated up to 600 degress F, more than twice that of Canvas micarta.


Please PM or email me to make a purchase. Paypal works best for me, but I accept postal money orders as well.

The material comes flat/smooth sanded(about 120grit finish), not glossy like Micarta comes. The nice thing about that, is that it is ready for glue up with little or no prep to the back.
I have included pics of the a finished knife I used it on, and also a pic of what the material will look like when you receive it.

If you have questions about finishing the material, just give me a shout!
 
I would treat it pretty much just like micarta. Although it doesn't "burn" as easily when grinding.
The higher grit you take it, the better the color will be. Buff with a cotton rag or such to expose and break off any wires on the surface.
