CIP Composites as Knife Handle Material (TeroTuf)

CIP has been making sheet material for the custom knife makers around the country.  Recognition is growing for TeroTuf which is polyester resin and polyester textile.  Whereas micarta and g-10 materials are phenolic resin and cotton/linen textile.  The difference:  TeroTuf is easier to machine, doesn’t crack or fracture, does not swell with moisture, and is all-around tougher.

Knife maker Dan Keffeler (Seattle area) is customer maker that is using TeroTuf on his latest design that is nearly indestructible. Check out this video of the CPM 3v test featuring TeroTuf handle at approx. 5:50 into the testing.
