Warm, organic grip that wears in smooth with use.
What it is
Micarta is a composite made by soaking layers of fabric or paper, such as linen, canvas or denim, in resin, then pressing and curing them into a solid block. The name started as a brand but is now widely used for this type of material. The fabric and resin choices depend on the maker, which is why Micarta can look anything from smooth and solid to layered and organic.
How it feels in your EDC
Micarta is light and feels warm, soft-edged and slightly textured in hand, closer to a natural material than to metal or glossy plastic. Many people find it grippy and comfortable, especially when it has a matte finish. It is often used for scales, inlays, buttons and accents on pieces that also use metal.
Care & aging
Micarta does not rust, but with handling it can absorb skin oils and gradually darken, building a unique, worn-in look. Many collectors enjoy that character. Clean it with a soft cloth and mild soap. If you prefer to keep it lighter, wipe it more often. Like G10 and Carbon Fiber, avoid sanding or cutting it yourself, as the dust can irritate.
是什么
米卡塔（Micarta）是把亚麻、帆布或牛仔布等织物或纸层浸入树脂，再压制固化成实心块材的复合材料。这个名字原本是品牌名，如今泛指这类材料。织物和树脂的选择取决于品牌，所以米卡塔外观可以从光滑纯色到层叠自然纹理不等。
上手感受
米卡塔很轻，握感温暖、边缘柔和、略带纹理，更接近天然材料，而不像金属或亮面塑料。很多人觉得它防滑舒适，哑光处理时尤其如此。常用于金属作品上的侧板、镶嵌、按键和装饰件。
保养与老化
米卡塔不会生锈，但把玩中会吸收皮肤油脂并逐渐变深，形成独特的使用痕迹，很多玩家喜欢这种个性。用软布和温和的肥皂清洁；想保持浅色，就多擦拭。和 G10、碳纤维一样，不要自行打磨或切割，粉尘可能有刺激性。
