anybody around hampton, south carolina?
from what i understand, the micarta we all want was made in hampton, south carolina. financial incentives for finding this stuff is pretty good. any takers? you just know somebody has laid their closet floor with ivory micarta, right? somebody found some a woman was using as a cutting board! another person was using some as a spacer/board in a computer system. i got a large slab(red- not ivory) that had been recycled from nasa for about $50 iirc.

You say ugly, survey said beautiful.
It was exactly the yellowing, which somewhat mimicks, tho imperfectly,
the yellowing of ivory that inspired knifemakers to use it for something
other than insulating.
In the opinion of many, the hit is the best of any ferrule material.
