• G10 Liner / Spacer Material

The G10 liner material is very thin yet extremely robust. For your handle, brilliant colors, extreme hardness, and durability are required. For increased robustness, attach a liner to your handle prior to drilling. To add contrast and beauty, place a layer between the tang and handle. It's thin enough to layer for a fresh appearance.

These are the most prevalent types of G10 Spacer Material used to manufacture colored handle spacers for knife handles. Additionally, they may be used to add color to bolsters, guards, and buttcap joints. G10 spacers, in contrast to paper-based spacers, do not compress, shrink, or wick liquids. Additionally, it is simple to polish and provides an identical color match.

• Vulcanized Fiber Spacer Material

The distinctive properties of vulcanized fiber are the result of a chemical reaction between natural fibers and chemical additions such as zinc chloride. When subjected to these chemical parchmentisers, the fibers disintegrate somewhat, forming a slurry. The slurry is then crushed at high temperatures using a roll or press mechanism to form a connection between the components without the use of chemical agents. The resulting sheet's thickness may be adjusted to fit manufacturer standards, and the sheets can be laminated to enhance the material's thickness even more.

Vulcanized fiber acts as a buffer between the knife's tang and handle material. With the variety of available colors, you may utilize simply one or include numerous colored areas for contrast.

Vulcanized fiber is a naturally occurring combination of fibrous elements that has been heat-treated to form a hard rubber. It is one among the first polymers invented and remains very helpful for sealing hardware such as plastic washers and gaskets.
