View Full Version : Synthetic Pearl Big DB 02-03-2002, 06:45 AM Hi y'all, I was wondering if anyone has used the new interlace synthetic stuff from TKS. I have someone that wants a pearl type handle on a folder, but I am worried about durability. I just finished one with the fantasy marble from Koval, pretty stuff, doesn't seem as though it would be good for an every day use knife though. Seems to chip pretty easy. Any comments would be appreciated! Thanks, Dan george tichbourne 02-03-2002, 07:39 AM I use the TKS material from time to time and it looks great but it is soft and scratches fairly easily. Try the red if you want something eyepopping, looks like crushed velvet when it is done.

Hoping it will work ok for him.
