Panty hose micarta

Try this: 1. Steal some of the little lady's panty hose (look for the one's with runs...it'll save you some grief later),
2. vise up the blade of your hidden tang knife,
3. get something to cover the floor for the mess that is about to ensue,
4. mix up your favorite epoxy, slightly heavy on the hardener. add colorant if wanted.
5. coat the tang with epoxy, wrap a couple layers of hose,
6. keep this up till you reach the disired diameter.
7. shape to desired when hard. add pins if you want or you could have added prior to wrapping and wrap around them.

makes a big mess but also a nice "linen" handle.
