G10 is a material commonly used for outdoor survival knife handles, and the following are some of its characteristics and related situations:

Material Property

1. High strength and durability

G10 is made of glass fiber cloth and epoxy resin through high temperature and pressure, with high strength, can withstand greater external forces and is not 

easy to damage. In the process of outdoor use, even if it is accidentally bumped, impacted, or subjected to various pressures during frequent use, the G10 

handle can generally remain intact, unlike some wooden handles that may be cracked, damaged, etc., its durability is excellent, and it can be used with 

outdoor survival knives for a long time.

2. Good slip resistance

Its surface usually has a certain texture, this texture is not a simple decoration, but can really enhance the anti-slip effect of the handle. Whether it is in a 

humid outdoor environment, such as operating the tool in the rain, or when the hand is stained with sweat, dirt, etc., holding the G10 handle can have a more 

reliable grip, reducing the risk of tool release, which is very important for some tasks that require accurate operation or hard cutting and cutting.

3. Strong corrosion resistance

The outdoor environment is complex and changeable, and there are various factors that can corrode things, such as rain, moisture contained in fog, and salt 

present in areas such as the sea. G10 material has a strong resistance to these corrosive substances, it is not as easy to rust as metal knife handle, and 

unlike some natural material knife handle is easy to get damp and mold, it can maintain good performance in harsh outdoor conditions to ensure the normal 

use and appearance of the knife handle.

4. Light weight and good processability

Compared with some metal knife handles, G10 material is relatively light, will not add too much unnecessary weight to the overall outdoor equipment, in line 

with the requirements of outdoor lightweight. At the same time, it has good machinability, can be made into a variety of shapes and sizes, to meet the 

diverse needs of different outdoor survival knife design, but also through processing to create an ergonomic holding shape, so that users will not feel too 

tired for a long time holding hands.

Maintenance Method

1. Cleaning

After use, wipe the G10 handle surface with a clean damp cloth to remove dust, stains, dirt and other impurities. If there is more stubborn dirt attached to the 

surface, such as dried SAP, oil, etc., you can dip in a small amount of mild detergent, gently wipe and then rinse with water, and then dry with a dry cloth 

immediately to avoid moisture residue. Because although the G10 corrosion resistance is strong, but a long time of water may also affect its performance 

and appearance.

2. Avoid scratching and damage

In the daily use and storage process, try to avoid direct contact with sharp, hard objects with the G10 handle to prevent its surface from being scratched. 

Although scratching generally does not affect its functionality, it will affect the overall beauty of the tool. When stored, the tool can be placed in a special knife 

sheath or storage box to give the handle a certain protection to avoid deformation or damage caused by external extrusion.

3. Get regular checkups

Carefully inspect the G10 shank regularly (say every few months) to see if there are cracks, excessive wear, or local damage caused by accidental impact. If 

it is found that there are small cracks and other problems, you can contact professional tool maintenance personnel or repair according to the suggestions of 

the tool manufacturer, if the damage seriously affects the use of safety and feel, it may be necessary to consider replacing the handle.

The Advantages Of Survival In The Outdoors

1. Stable operation guarantee

In the outdoor survival, whether it is using the survival knife to cut down branches to build shelters, or cutting ropes, handling prey to obtain food and other 

operations, G10 knife handle with its good anti-slip and comfortable holding sense, can allow users to more stable and accurate control of the tool, improve 

work efficiency, reduce the risk of unexpected situations such as knife release.

2. Adapt to multiple environments

Due to its corrosion resistance and high strength characteristics, it can adapt to different outdoor environments such as rainforests, deserts, beaches, etc., 

whether the environment is wet or dry, it can reliably play a role, and will not require special care or performance problems like some other material handles, 

providing a strong support for outdoor survival activities.

In short, G10 shank is a very high-quality choice of outdoor survival knife, understanding its characteristics and maintenance methods, help to better play 

the role of outdoor survival knife in the outdoor environment.
