LVS (stacked veneer) Abalone / Paua has been the material everyone has been using for some time; but that is still $275+ for a 5.5"x9.5" sheet. These lower the price significantly by only requiring one layer of the shell per application.

GEC Abalone Looking Glass
Has anyone seen these natural abalone / acrylic veneer slabs? GEC calls them "Looking Glass" because you can see thru them from the side. They are natural material sandwiched by acrylic allowing for easier working and much more economical final product....

Does that mean that the pin posts are visible as well?

PS- at least there's not a danger of chipping or cracking the shell handle if you drop the knife.

Well I saw the material 6-8 months ago and had talked to some about it; so I guess I am psychicrma100 wrote:No,nobody has seen them,they just came out yesterday.
Masecraft has had it for some time. So why not just let the rest speak for themselves.
Yes, they are like the past Looking Glass models. They will be much more durable and economical but with a little less realistic look.Does that mean that the pin posts are visible as well?

Re: GEC Abalone Looking Glass
Nice knife, I just wonder by using acrylic will that break down after time?
