Just ordered some Ultrex Suretouch from Jantz.
It is layers of G-10 and rubber. Rubber must be quite spongy as they told
me that I should freeze it before working it.

Gonna try it on a fillet and bird and trout.
Maybe I should use a more stain/rust resistant blade material the M4, but.....

Anyone have any experience with such a handle material??????

Sounds interesting.

If it’ll hold up and give the handle a grippy feel I’d like it.

Yeah, the grippy feel is what I am looking for.

I ordered the color with 3 different camo color layers of G-10 and fourth layer black rubber.

Hank made me a blade with burlatex scales, cool stuff. Be curious on your opinion on this new stuff

Even smooth, bead-blasted camo G-10 is pretty 'grippy', without adding rubber, or jigging or checkering/grooves. At least on pistol grips....

Well then, the added black rubber layers make it just a bit more grippy without the bead blasting.

Guess I will have to wait for the warm up to know how it works with fish slime.

So how does that blade pattern look.

I am planning on using it on bass, pike and walleye and maybe a back strap in the fall.

michiganroadkill,

I just ordered some of this to try out. Spendy, just got enough to do one knife with and see how it is. What was your final verdict? Did you end up liking it or not?

Yeah, I like it .
I am about to ship a knife to sakohunter264 with that material for scales also.
That knife is a drop point hunter pattern. We will see how he likes it.

When sanding on a belt sander, that rubber layer is quite grabby.
So firm grip, but light pressure.

Cool thanks! If my order arrives when it should, I should have my scales on by sunday eve. Super excited to try it out.

If you don't mind me asking, what grit did you finish with?

Coincidences, coincidences... I missed this thread until today. Last week I ordered a new Bark River North Country EDC from KnivesShipFree with the green/black SureTouch handles. I like them! They don't look much different than the regular two tone Micarta handles but add enough extra grip without being overly "tacky".

Do not remember for sure, but probably 400-600 and then scotch brite green pad.

BGG,

How does the texture finish up?

I like g10 bead blasted for a “tacky” feel.
