Where can I get...

Pistachio?

I actually really like that one, I found a sample photo on some knives on their social media, gonna have to get some of them. The Violet color looks really good too.

Great prices and fast shipping.

Sounds wonderful

Me too, I was impressed.
IF you do, please share those results....

I just saw some of the Tufnol-Micarta they have and am really interested to try some of it, really nice bright colors that aren’t as common here.

I picked up a some of their orange. Best I have seen. Color pops like G10. This is P600 then brown tripoli. Also got some red, for my daughter's first knife.

Thanks guys for the heads up on the Tufnol, colors are offered that I have been searching for.

That Looks Amazing!!!

First time I've heard of Tufnol. Looks like they have some interesting colors.

Reminds me a bit of the Gagarin stuff I used a few times? Nice, vibrant colors and polished up pretty nicely!

Can't wait to put it on a hunter or camper!

Thanks @billf for reminding me about Masecraft. unfortunately they don't have anything either (Unless I'm missing something)

S Scaniaman , I don't think the customer would want that, but that does make me think, what if I bleached the finished handle . And he doesn't want OD green either.

As for using G10, I really do not want to work with that if at all possible.

Right now he's agreed with using terotuf, though I think he would prefer micarta so I'm trying to do everything I can to find it for him.

Just out of curiosity, why don't you want to work with G10?

Because I don’t want to deal with the glass dust everywhere, especially since I don’t have a specific grinding room and my dust collection system isn’t amazing.

Thanks to all for the help!
I am still yet to find any grey micarta, like Drew Riley recommended I might reach out to ESEE.
The Tufnol definitely looks interesting, and their “bottle green” might work.
But I think at this point I’ll probably use Terotuf.


I have handled Terotuf before but I’ve never actually used it before, is there any advice y’all could give me on working with it?

Teortuf is easy to work with, like a softer Micarta.

My biggest complaint with Terotuf is it collects grime and is hard to clean. I bought 300 dollars of the material thinking it was going to be my newest scale material but I ended up talking almost all clients out of using Terotuf because of the grime issue. Obviously grey is not as big of an issue but the brighter colors quickly turn ugly with use.

Here is an example.

There goes all my money! I love purple. Been interested in getting some purple/black micarta or G10. I checked out their site and that violet looks sick.

Not sure how much other people like purple but I could always just horde it for personal knives

TeroTuff seems similar to Damagrip, which is a fabric based laminate. It is softer, coarser feeling and absorbs dirts/oils easily. It also is more flexible in thinner sections, too. Used it a handful of times and wasn't impressed with Damagrip.

It cuts and machines very easy. When grinding it almost pils instead of dust.
Idk what others do, but I dip my knife handles in water when I am grinding micarta to help cool, and keep dust at a minimum. I did it for this, too.
I like the way the grey looks.
I only used blue so far, as I got a free sample piece from a member here. It also gets dirty easy.
I made it for a trapper, for cutting and gutting his kills. I warned him about the looks. He LOVES the knife, and grip!

It has weird "fruity" smell when machined/ground.

I'll use it again.
