SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Military Green Canvas Micarta Scale from Jantz is built for knife makers who demand performance, reliability, and rugged looks. Measuring 1 1/2 inches wide by 10 inches long, this scale is crafted through a high-pressure layering process that binds multiple sheets of premium canvas together into a dense, solid slab. The result is a tough and highly versatile material that can take on just about any shaping, sanding, or drilling operation with ease.
Canvas Micarta has earned its place in knife making for good reason. It's not just tough—it’s practically immune to the conditions that break down other materials. This scale resists moisture, corrosion, acids, oils, heat, cold, and heavy compression. It's a favorite for working knives, tactical builds, and field tools because it can handle the extremes without cracking, warping, or failing. Whether you're in a humid bayou or a dry, sun-blasted desert, this scale stays reliable.
The military green color offers a subdued, utilitarian tone that pairs well with both stainless and carbon blades. When polished, the canvas surface reveals a clean, smooth finish, but if you prefer a more aggressive grip, the material can be left rough for a textured, high-traction feel. It's also lightweight, adding strength and grip without unnecessary bulk.
From custom builds to field repairs, the Military Green Canvas Micarta Scale is the kind of material you can trust in the shop and in the field. With the right finish, it can go from rugged to refined in just a few passes on the buffer. Whether you’re making a knife for hard use or one that needs a distinct, battle-ready style, this scale delivers. Order it today from SMKW!
