Why, just curious is all?

polyester will chip relatively easily compared to say epoxy ror phenolic resins. Phenolics aren't as popular now because of the modern epoxies. Being around boats my whole life, I get polyester. It is a good deal cheaper (big today) and is maybe a bit easier to work with, but higher end boat builders have gone to epoxy resins for better strength and durability.

On a knife handle it might be ok, not really heavy use if you will, but still don't like it.

Crutch answered it completely...a little soft (had to be wary of sanding holes in it) but worked just fine...

Thank-You Joe, and Scott. Answered my question

Carvex Catacomb model 10-5. I am not into skulls, but this paper micarta handle was unique. It does not look like there was much of this handle material made...

Here is one very similar. As I understand what the shop told me is, this material is no longer available??

I'm not into Pac Man, but I thought the knife was unique in it's own rite, to have in the collection.

Interesting for sure.

Thanks for all the responses. I was just trying something new. My favorite choice will always be wood.
Nice photos Michael and Mindelsee.
