I was looking to see if anyone had any experience with G-10 and thought I shoot the question???

I used some G-10 for the first time on a knife yesterday. Well I was cutting it on the wood band saw not even my bi-metal saw, must have ruined that blade... it was shooting sparks!

Is there carbon in the G-10 mix or are the sparks coming from the bandsaw blade alone. Hard material have heard good things about it, first time using it even own a few factories that have it for scales. Never seen anything like it glint of sparks, except when using Mammoth tooth, fossils, dinasour bone...

It is some tuff stuff even after wiping it down cleaning it good with Acetone! and it did nothing to the material no color even on the rag, I checked Acetone did not penetrate it at all, I AM VERY IMPRESSED and will use it again... Thanks in advance DB

I would Say it was Your Blade Coming apart.

As You found out--You can't cut G-10 on a wood Blade.

Use Your Bi-Metal Blade.

I use either the Carbide Tip Table Saw Blade--they don't last long either on G-10- or-The Saw I use for it most Often--A Wet Saw --that is actually meant for Tile.

That gives the best side finish and cuts like a dream.

I sue a lot of G-10 and stock it in every color and thickness.

It grinds easily--machines very uniformly and polished up beautifully.

Well, it does have a load of glass in it, right?

On a side note, I want to see some of your work with dino bone! I have some slabs and am wondering just what to do with it.

Dino bone here is a picture below of an older small folder I made. I hope it was a T Rex

Save it the fossil you will need a lot of lapidery tools water while grinding and drilling and its very messy.

Oh ya also breaks when you almost finished "it sucks"

Just to look at the g10 and the feel of it. Kind of like Mircata feel... I thought I could buzz right thru it. I found out to use the other saw now... Thanks Db

DB,

We cut a lot of material here every day.

Our Wood Saw has a Big Sign on it.

"WOOD ONLY"

Micarta will damage a wood blade too.

You can cut Kydex on one but We still don't do that either.

Hi there. I am a knife collector specifically interested in dinosaur bone and mammoth ivory knives. I was looking through the posts when the picture you posted caught my eye.

I thought initially that you must be Tom Mcluin, as the pictured knife looks remarkably like one of his pieces. I have several of his excellent knives in my collection. Perhaps you know him?

I also visited your website, where I saw several other pieces that appeared to be By Mcluin. Do you gents work together?

Ghoty, Do you have ant pictures of your Mcluins? Are they folders or fixed?

I would like to see them, you should post a few pictures of them. Tom would appreciate a forum post of his knives in the Custom Gallery, and everyone would get to see them. I think he makes the best High End Folders or fixed blade knives for that matter out there. That’s my opinion and like I said and "he taught me" so I might have some bias...

There are two folders on my website he made for me, a Snake wood and Mammoth Ivory ... Db
