## Description

Use for knifemaking and more, made in the USA

Review: Consistent material - Fairly roughly sawn, had to put a slight chamfer on the slab to get it to lie flat.
Review: It looked more like white plastic. - I went ahead and used them, but wish they really did look more like 'Ivory aged'.

## Features

- Now available in several different colors, combinations, and surface treatments, UltreX paper and cotton phenolic materials use the original production methods of Westinghouse, updated with today’s process and environmental controls. And unlike other “micarta” available in the market, UltreX Micarta is produced in the USA.
- Micarta was the original knife handle material. But before that, it proved its toughness and durability in demanding electrical and mechanical industrial applications. Pioneered for use in power generating and utility scale transformers, the Micarta brand became synonymous with a specific style of laminated composite — paper and cotton fabric reinforced phenolic.
- Made in the USA
- Scales are 1.5"x6", sold as a pair
