023 Show Info – Getting a Handle on Micarta
Show Topic: Greg Hansen of G.L. Hansen and Sons
Overview: Greg drops a TON of knowledge on how he makes his handle material and how he ended up getting to where he is. This show gives a cool behind the scenes look about how handle material is made and how complicated it can be to make a premium product. It was great to get to know more about Greg and how him and Mikie come up with the cool designs they do.
