Micarta is a material created by layers upon layers of fibered laminates combined with resins and processed with heat and combined pressure to chemically alter the layers into one solid very durable product.
These BK handles are a combination of canvas layers & resins.
Because of the process and the different grains of the laminate materials, each handle is unique to itself and no two look alike.
Micarta has been used since the early 1900's as a proven long lasting durable agent in many of the industrial fields and has been used in the making of high end knife handles for years.
The BK Micarta handles provide a stable grip and better control while the knife is in use which also creates a safer work environment.
