G10 - Jade ghost Blocks - Knife Handle Material

Jade Ghost Green Blocks

This is G10, an epoxy and glass mat based laminate. It is exceptionally durable and tough material. It will probably out last a knife handle. It finishes to a very nice polish with visible pattern and it is translucent. This material has layered canvas weave glass matting. Wear a respirator when grinding or sanding as any glass fibers raised during sanding or grinding will be hard on lungs.

NOTE: These blocks are salvage material.  Expect these blocks to have several surface cosmetic flaws including scratches, discoloration,  possibly very minor surface delamination (I pay close attention to this), and stains. These are all on the surface defects and your piece may have none of these cosmetic issues or all of them. It is priced accordingly.

The Jade Ghost Green scales and sheets listed elsewhere on the site in 1/8", 1/4" and 3/8" thickness are all virgin new material and are NOT salvage.

Pictures shown are only to illustrate the color and typical condition of blocks. These blocks may not represent the actual sizes for sale in this item listing.

Tip: I use a wet tile saw with diamond blade when cutting G10 or Phenolic. This material can be cut with a metal band saw or even wood cutting band saw but go slow or you will burn it. Expect it to dull your band saw blade so use an old one. Some makers have had good luck cutting this material with a table saw and carbide blade.
