 TeroTufTM

This material is polyester resin reinforced with polyester textile; whereas g10 and micarta are made with a phenolic resin.  The polyester resin makes for a more stable handle material that will not crack or break and has negligible water swell.  This material is best for tactical knives that require a handle with no slip.

 

TeroTuf is non-abrasive and is easier to machine than phenolic or fiberglass materials.  Coolant is not required for machining TeroTuf; machine dry. Dust mask and or work area air suction is suggested.
