The Jantz Black Canvas Micarta Scale is a premium handle material built for knife makers who value strength, reliability, and a timeless look. Measuring 10" overall, this durable scale is crafted from high-quality black canvas Micarta—a material known for its exceptional toughness and long-lasting performance. Whether you're working on a rugged outdoor fixed blade or a refined everyday carry knife, this scale provides the perfect combination of durability and style to elevate your project.
Canvas Micarta has earned its place as one of the most trusted materials in the knife-making world. Its unique construction—layers of canvas fabric impregnated with resin and compressed under heat and pressure—creates a dense, stable composite that resists moisture, temperature changes, and impact. The result is a handle material that performs as well in the field as it does on the workbench, with a grippy texture that enhances control even in wet or cold conditions.
The deep black color of this Micarta scale gives any blade a bold, professional appearance. It complements a wide range of blade finishes, from satin and stonewash to Cerakote and DLC. The material is easy to shape, sand, and polish, allowing makers to achieve the precise contour and finish they desire. Whether left with a natural matte surface for improved traction or polished smooth for a sleek modern look, this Micarta delivers a custom finish that’s both functional and attractive.
Designed for versatility, the Jantz Black Canvas Micarta Scale can be used for fixed blades, folding knives, and a variety of custom handle applications. Its stability under stress and resistance to wear make it a favorite among both professional knifemakers and dedicated hobbyists. When properly shaped and finished, it offers a balance of rugged performance and understated elegance that few other materials can match.
From heavy-duty field knives to precision-crafted EDC designs, this Micarta scale brings out the best in any build. With its strength, resilience, and classic black finish, it’s the ideal foundation for a handle that feels as good as it looks and performs for years to come.
