W-10 Stabilized Wood: The Next Step in Knife Handle Evolution

Are you tired of your stabilized wood scales warping on the work bench, or peeling off your knives every time it rains? This is because even stabilized wood can warp due to water absorption from the air, which causes swelling and movement. This happens for two reasons: 1 - simple filling of wood pores with resin hardly does anything to limit swelling of the wood fibers; and 2 - resins used for knife handle stabilizing are incapable of stabilizing the transient micro pores that open and close based on the fiber water saturation, leaving a network of flexible, water absorbing regions. These facts have been known in the stabilizing industry for around 60 years, with a multitude of approaches developed and employed industrially to circumvent these issues. Unfortunately, the wooden knife handle industry has been reluctant to step away from the 1950s technology and into the 21 century.

We wanted to offer something better than what people in this market are used to, and we are proud to offer our line of W-10 Stabilized Wood. W-10 is our proprietary technology, developed by us, and specifically aimed at solving the wood handle warping issues that knife makers constantly run into. W-10 triple action approach combines five wood modification methods, compared to just two employed by the large craft wood stabilizers and hobbyists. As a result, W-10 Stabilized Wood offers water and warp protection that is unprecedented in the knife world. Moreover, this approach allows us to stabilize end grain cuts of wood without worrying about deformation and cracking.

Other benefits include:

- Superior Machinability

- Significantly Lower Wear on Sanding Belts

- Improved Toughness

- Higher Luster Finish

Try W-10 today and step into the 21 century!
