Who sells crosscut Micarta?

[David Mary]

The only times I have ever gotten any it was either sent by a friend, or came in a box of end cuts. I have looked on all the maker supply sites I can think of and none of them have it. Thanks!

Maker Material Supply has some in stock.

Pops Knife Supply carries it too. They have 4-5 different variations usually.

I don’t carry any modern phenolics, but I have plenty of vintage, crosscut Westinghouse butterscotch linen, Westinghouse natural canvas, and some 1980’s Current Composite linen with an awesome patina, etc.

I can send you some shots tomorrow if you would like? Or, if you have Instagram feel free to check out my page @knifehandlesupply and let me know if you see something that interests you.

I’ll have the real website online in a few days (KnifeHandleSupply.com). I had a little setback while I got over an illness.

Alright, so these are just some examples of material. Please no one ask about purchasing, or pricing in this thread.

Keep in mind that most of these are rough cut, and not sanded or polished.

This is some 1980's Current Composite, crosscut linen phenolic scales with an absolutely wicked patina. These guys make some of my all-time favorite material, and they're probably my favorite, modern producer of phenolics. While a lot of companies have outsourced their production overseas, Current Composites has kept their production stateside since they started back in 1962.

This is a 5-3/8" diameter, Westinghouse crosscut butterscotch linen Micarta slab. This came from a HUGE 5-3/8” x 48” Westinghouse rod that I cut into .16”, .25”, and .375” slabs.

This is Westinghouse crosscut layered canvas Micarta. It's quite a bit brighter on the inside once it is cut.

This is what the Westinghouse crosscut layered canvas looks like on the inside once you cut it. I don't have any material left with this awesome fade at the top unfortunately, but I believe Pop's does.

This is a Westinghouse crosscut natural canvas.

1950's/1960's U.S. made (unknown manufacturer) crosscut canvas phenolic with a heavy patina (your guess is as good as mine as to what's inside, lol).

Unknown year, unknown maker crosscut canvas phenolic.

And just for fun... Some 1930's/1940's Westinghouse rag Micarta.

First order placed with Brian. Support local, I always say. And I guess by local in this case I mean Bladeforums supporting dealers.....
