Cool Handles by Fendley Knives

Monday, April 12, 2010

We came across this pretty interesting use of denim fabric and epoxy, used to make a great looking knife handle. The guys at Fendley Knives have been experimenting with a process originally developed in the 1950's. They go through their whole process, explaining everything along the way, including many pictures. Finally the laminated material is put through its paces through a rigorous testing phase. It's pretty tough.

We came across Because We Can out of Oakland, CA. We really like their whole company philosophy, not to mention these sweet benches. It's amazing what a little creativity and elbow grease can do.
