Nebula — The Artisan Cosmic Handle

A new era of handle material, forged from the stars.

Forged entirely with urethane resin, Nebula is a next-generation handle material designed to outperform typical epoxies in clarity, strength, and machinability. Every block is cast in small batches for makers who demand precision, polish, and individuality.

  • Engineered for durability and heat stability

  • Polishes to optical-grade gloss

  • Resistant to yellowing and brittleness

“Every Nebula is a one-of-one cosmic fingerprint.”

“Nebula cuts clean, polishes fast, and easy to work with. It’s solid, durable, and performs better than most resins I’ve used.”
— Neil Kamimura,

Material Composition & Performance

Property Nebula (Urethane Resin) Typical Epoxy Resin
Base Material High-performance urethane (epoxy-free) Standard Bis-A/B epoxy
Hardness 78–80 Shore D 80 Shore D
Heat Resistance Up to 140 °F (60 °C) continuous Up to 130 °F (55 °C)
Tensile Strength 4,200 psi (ductile) 8,420 psi (brittle)
Durability Impact-resistant, flexible Stiffer, can craze or crack
Elongation / Flexibility 10–15 % (flexible under stress) 6.3 % (rigid, brittle)
UV / Color Stability Excellent – resists yellowing Moderate – tends to yellow
Machinability Cuts clean, minimal chipping Softer, prone to heat tack
Polishability Optical-grade gloss Glass-like but more haze-prone

Urethane resins cure faster, resist heat deformation better, and maintain vivid color depth without long post-cures — ideal for functional knife handles.

Solids

A single-pigment cast that delivers deep clarity and uniform tone. Perfect for makers who prefer clean, minimalist lines.
Each block is pressure-cast and hand-finished for balance and consistency.

Price: $50.00 (Shipping included)

Mixes

Multiple pigments fused together in swirling, cloud-like formations. Each mix combines 2–3 pigments for organic depth and color separation that changes with every angle.

Price: $75.00 (Shipping included)

Fusion

The Fusion Series combines Nebula’s premium urethane base with intricate hand-cut layers, liners, and spacers — creating a fully balanced composite ready to shape.
Every piece is individually composed and balanced by hand.

Price: $95.00 (Shipping included)

Why Nebula?

Nebula isn’t just resin — it’s evolution. A cosmic-grade urethane formula built for artisans who demand strength, clarity, and a depth of color that standard epoxies can’t touch.

A side-by-side look at how Nebula outperforms standard epoxy materials

Feature Nebula (Urethane) Common Epoxy
Finish Ultra-clear, color-deep Clear but prone to yellowing
Density & Strength Tough, balanced, minimal flex Softer under heat
Polishability Optical gloss, zero haze Glossy but heat-sensitive
Durability Crack-resistant, stable Can chip or craze
Heat Resistance ≈140 °F (withstands polishing heat) ≈130 °F
Color Stability UV-resistant Gradual discoloration
Machining Feel Crisp, clean cut Slight tack under friction
Value Premium artisan-grade Mass-produced craft resin

Nebula’s urethane foundation delivers lasting clarity, stability, and machining performance — setting a higher standard for modern handle materials.

“Nebula is always evolving. Expect limited runs, rare pigments, and cosmic collections that expand this universe of artisan materials.”

⚡ Why It Matters

Nebula isn’t just a resin blank — it’s a material crafted for makers who see color, depth, and clarity as part of their blade’s story.
Designed, poured, and finished by hand — each Nebula block is built for performance and individuality.

Every Nebula block carries its own universe.
The only question is:
Which one will you forge into your masterpiece?
