Micarta Jeans (Blue jeans) 8x120x235mm

Micarta Jeans (Blue jeans) 8x120x235mm has in its basis a pressed cotton-paper fabric of denim weaving. In this case, a high-quality one-component epoxy resin acts as a binder, which after polymerization acquires a very dense and hard structure and is easily processed. Mykarta gets a matte shine after finishing. Micarta is not hydrophobic, does not deform due to changes in humidity and temperature, does not form cracks and steps at the joints, does not lag behind metal and is not subject to harmful environmental factors.
The history of the use of micarta as a material for handles is not as rich as that of wood, but from the beginning of the 20th century, from the moment of the discovery of the first compounds of phenol-formaldehyde resins, this material firmly took its position not only in knives, but in other spheres of economic activity.
One of the main factors of such a breakthrough was the relative cheapness, practicality in production and convenience in further operation of the products. On the one hand - ease of processing and cheapness of the material, on the other - improved consumer qualities and durability in use. Mykarta is absolutely insensitive to the effects of the environment - fluctuations in temperature, humidity, ultraviolet (does not dry out and does not crack), is inert to aggressive chemicals and resistant to mechanical damage, and therefore does not conduct electricity. Mykarta has high strength and density, sits very well in the hand, does not cause tactile discomfort, does not slip, even when wet. In addition, in addition to practicality and functionality, the aesthetic component is no less important. Due to the intricate pattern of the base and the iridescence of colors, each product is unique, not similar to each other. Therefore, mikarta is a favorite material of masters who work with non-serial knives, masters who want to emphasize the individuality of their blade, make even a mediocre kitchen knife a unique product, gave the handle an ergonomic shape and showed on it an amazing three-dimensional pattern, inherent only to mikarta.
