windancer Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 None of my regular sources still sell the LINEN in white or ivory... Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robakyo Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Have you considered making your own? That is one of the things still on my to do list. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch4ging Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Thats one I've looked for a while back. No linen! Found white paper micarta at Jantz. If you fine linen, pls post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinobi Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 USAKnifeMaker seems to have several returns on linen micarta for knife scales, looked to be in stock as well. http://usaknifemaker.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=linen there is a 'bone' color that's probably a little too yellow to qualify as ivory, and they have a 'bleached melamine' linen micarta which is stark white, but IDK if that's the right product.

windancer Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 I remember years ago using Melamine for counter tops and quit using it because of cracking problems with the edges. Since knife handles are almost entirely edges that is out. But thanks for trying, appreciate it. I don't care for the [non] pattern in the paper micarta and want the white or ivory linen. Guess I won't be using any white... Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hale Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I opened a catalog for a place listed in the knifemaking section under supplers and they list ivory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windancer Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Rich, I checked all my sources and none list white 1/8 linen micarta in white or ivory. I had checked the suppliers list as well. I also went back to the list after your post. I still don't see any of the material I am looking for. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I'm with the *make yer own* school. Its easy and you get what you want :) However if DIY just isn't in your wheelhouse, Chinobi nailed it: I went one click further and found Linen - Bleached Linen Melamine 1/8" Might need to update your source list ;) Edit: To be fair, US Knife Maker Supply isn't listed in the "Handle material" list but it is in the >Supplier list thread , From there its just a click or 3 or an appropriate search keyword away. Your mileage may vary :D Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me miller Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Yes that is the one. I don't really like the tan but the white,black, and red are good material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windancer Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 I ordered some of the linen from the bow place. Will post again after it gerts here and I have a chance to try it out. Thanks to all for the suggestions :) Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me miller Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Several years ago i wanted some red in wider strips. I had to wait until they got a whole sheet in but they cut me 4 by 39 inch strips so i could cut across instead of toward the end. i think they charged me $30 some dollars a strip. i thought it was a bargain.

me miller Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Winddancer did you get your white linen micarta in? Was it what you wanted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windancer Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Ordered from the bow place, it came and looks good. Haven't used any yet- probably not for a few days. Will post a pic and more info when I do. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windancer Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Not until I try the material and be sure it works correctly. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me miller Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 We are eagerly awaiting to see if the white linen worked out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windancer Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 I actually used some and did a couple handles. That will be dry and ready to work tomorrow or the next day. I will get some finished pics up when they are available. I think I am happy with it but will follow through.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
