The Jantz Supply 12in Black G-10 Rod (3/16in Diameter) is a high-grade composite pinning stock manufactured specifically for custom knifemakers, bladesmiths, and tool makers. Custom knife builders and DIY craftsmen often struggle to find durable, tactical handle fastening hardware that resists corrosion while providing a clean, stealthy aesthetic against natural wood or synthetic scales. Built as a high-strength alternative to traditional brass or stainless steel pins, this G-10 round stock allows makers to securely pin handle scales to full-tang blades with lasting structural stability.
Engineered from high-pressure fiberglass laminate, G-10 is created by layering woven glass cloth impregnated with an epoxy resin binder. Measuring 12 inches long with a precise 3/16-inch (0.1875") diameter, this material will not shrink, warp, rot, or absorb moisture, sweat, or oils. Its inherent chemical and water resistance makes it ideal for heavy-use outdoor, hunting, tactical, and kitchen cutlery where metal pins might corrode or discolor over time.
The solid black coloring runs uniformly throughout the entire core of the rod, ensuring clean aesthetic consistency when ground down flush with handle contours. Easily cut, shaped, sanded, and polished using standard shop belt grinders or sandpaper, this knifemaking accessory blends seamlessly into handle scales while revealing a subtle, woven texture upon finishing. Backed by Jantz Supply's decades of knifemaking expertise, this black G-10 rod delivers reliable hardware performance for custom cutlery projects.
