Looks great! I recently got some of this stuff but I am waiting for just the right project. If you like the translucent stuff check out Kevin Wilkins' site, too. He uses a fair amount of it in a variety of tints, and it looks superb!
 
Tom, the only place I've ever seen it was at Halpern. They call it "natural." Give them a call or email Marianne. I think they have a lot of stuff that never makes it onto their website (or at least that's the feeling I get), so it never hurts to ask. Mine is the same as what you see in these pics: translucent with a greenish cast. Kevin Wilkins' site shows some knives with stuff that looks translucent yellow, too, although it could be another material altogether.
 
Thanks for sharing, those knives have definitely a distinctive look.
Now I wonder if there is a G-10 that glows in the dark...

Nope, it's also G-11, which is a more heat resistant material very similiar to G-10. I have been using the translucent, pale green and yellow G-11 for years now. The yellow stuff is no more, I still have enough for a few knives in stock however.
 
Very cool stuff, I really like using it. When I bought the stuff I have it was listed as G10. I noticed one of the links above even calls it Epoxy Glass Micarta...
