G10 Knife Handles have become increasingly popular. They are found mainly on slightly higher end knives as an upgrade from materials like Fiber Reinforced Nylon (FRN) which is a nylon polymer mixed with glass fiber and then injection-molded into the desired shape. G10 is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate composite. Initially developed for the electronics industry, G10 found its way into the knife-making world due to its exceptional properties. Composed of layers of fiberglass cloth soaked in epoxy resin and subjected to high pressure and heat, G10 boasts a unique combination of strength and versatility.
Honey Badger Knives has a huge following and many customers were requesting an upgraded handle material. Now and again release some limited edition knives complete with G10 scales but more popular are our aftermarket G10 Knife handles that customers can purchase to upgrade their knives.
G10 is inherently resistant to moisture, making it an excellent choice for knives that may be exposed to wet or humid conditions. Additionally, G10 is impervious to a wide range of chemicals, ensuring that the handle material remains unaffected by common solvents and oils. This resistance contributes to the long-term reliability of knives with G10 handles.
G10 knife handles often feature a textured surface, providing a secure grip even in challenging conditions. The texture enhances the tactile experience, offering users confidence and control during various cutting tasks. The grip is further customizable, with different patterns and textures available to suit individual preferences.
G10 stands as a testament to the marriage of form and function in knife handle materials. Its strength, durability, lightweight nature, resistance to the elements, and aesthetic versatility make it a top choice for both knife enthusiasts and professionals. Whether you seek a reliable tool for outdoor adventures or a stylish everyday carry companion, a knife with a G10 handle is a testament to the enduring appeal of this exceptional material.
