New handle material
Carbon fiber and shredded burlap. These slabs are over 3" wide, 6" long and over 1/2" thick.

Re: New handle material
Made this 3" blade EDC knife from Elmax and used a piece of the carbon fiber and blue burlap. I took the handle up to 1500 grit sandpaper; the carbon fiber polished up well, but the burlap stayed somewhat coarse. I did several coats of Tung Oil on the handle so far as well as using super glue to fill the tiny air bubbles I found.
