Info, 

See attached pictures for the featured maker submission. 

Bushcraft style knife with Bora Bora Blue Diamond edition and OD Green GripX handle.

Why I like using GripX: 
  • The color combinations and variety give lots of options for different looks
  • The environmental stability, i.e resistant to temperature and humidity change
    • I have made too many knives with natural materials that crack and warp over time and have switched to stabilized woods and synthetics. GripX is a great alternative to G10, micarta, etc. 
  • The ease of working and finishing is fantastic
  • The best part about GripX is that everytime I hand a knife sporting GripX to someone, they always ask, "what is the handle made out of?". I get to answer with an explanation and description of GripX and then show them all of the options on the website.
Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.
