little scandi just finished

It looks stunning!
Just a friendly question: Will not the high gloss surface be very slippery when the hand is wet with sweat, blood and similar?

thanks, its not too bad, not quite as grippy as micarta but the handle has some contouring to help grip and prevent your fingers sliding forward. kirinite is advertised as being grippy even when polished.

quote: "Kirinite® is made from a chemical process that has produced the most durable, rich and elegant grip material ever! The material is perfect for knife makers that cut shape and polish this gem like product. It¹s most amazing property is that the more it¹s polished the more it bonds to your hands.
It¹s not slippery making it more desirable than ever. There's nothing like it."

i wouldnt go as far as that, micarta is better but its not bad, looks pretty but dont plan on using any more.

If we forget the sales blurp, it is Acrylic. I guess heat cured. So basically the same material as your grandma's dentures.

Now it is perfect, imho.
Grip, looks, functionality.
