Kutmaster, Bone or Delrin handles?

Post by TPK »

Hi Folks,

I'm guessing the handles on this Kutmaster (this is not my knife yet) are Delrin. Does anybody have one of these or can anyone tell by the pictures of it what the handles are made of? ::shrug:: Would be helpful for me to know how much I'm willing to bid on it. ::tu::

Appreciate your comments gentlemen. Thanks! ::handshake:: ::tu::

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

Some Delrin can appear really close to bone when you're looking with a naked eye. If you have a good loupe or magnifying glass and look around the lighter edges you will see tiny, dark, lines and flecks. They are the remains of blood capillaries in bone. Delrin will not have them. Expand the pic below and you should be able to see them pretty well. Good luck, J.O'.

J.O. is right on. I'll add too that the Delrin jigging is uniform and all of the jigging is identical. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Delrin. As a matter of fact, it can be a good thing on a using knife. We all prefer bone mostly, but, on a working knife you won't ever have to worry about delrin chipping or cracking if you drop it, and it can be less slippery when wet.
