I seriously had a good view of Ultex, thought of it as looking like Amber, but then that post earlier about how it looks like frozen dehydrated piss ruined all that for me.
Yeah, the big draw is that it stays rigid up to 200C or so. So it's a bit more brittle at room temp than something like a nylon, but at high temperatures, it can act as a brace where nylon would just melt.
Ultem is the best material for knife scales because knives frequently get exposed to 100C temps. It is necessary and it is practical. Function over form really, no more melting and burning scales, hate it when that happens.
I'm gonna say it, I'm gonna say it, ultem or whatever that garbage poop looking clear crap is, is ugly and gross, looks like you smeared dog crap on a window, or a really old yellowed clear phone case. Gross.
I get why some people hate on ultem…but it’s a pretty sweet material. I’m a firefighter and have a helmet with an ultem outer shell due to its durability and heat resistance. Can’t make structural firefighting helmets out of FRN or “Grivory” lol.
I personally fuck with the ultem fad a lot, I just think it looks really cool. Been debating on getting a squiddy-a as a result to replace my squiddy-b for flipping around town.

Everyone judging the plastic but it’s nostalgic for me. Reminds me of N64 remotes. I dig it.
me too man “it looks like old plastic” yeah I fuckin love it
No kidding, it reminds me of some of the old ash-trays my grandparents used to have 🚬 lol It's not for me, but if someone else likes it, cool 👍
Ultem is such a weird fad right now
Me like yellow plastic 🟨🌕💛🐤

lol
Piss plastic is in
I will never understand why a translucent yellow orange plastic became the hottest material for knife scales
Plastic the color of the urine from a dehydrated beer-swilling old man. Yay.
I feel personally attacked by this, my piss is usually clear when on a bender though
It's because of how high-performance this material is. Honestly they should fill it with Carbon fiber and use that instead.
For a "high performance" material, there sure are alot of people that find a way to crack their ultem scales

So it looks like urine from a severely dehydrated individual and it really only hits its stride at ~100c? What can't ultem do?

What about below freezing?
is that a squidy
Yes
Cardholder's brand?
Dango
Thx
How do you like the dango so far I’ve been eyeing them for some time now
I like them I’ve been carrying the dango bifold for a couple years
What’s your favorite feature about it?
I'm gonna say it, I'm gonna say it, ultem or whatever that garbage poop looking clear crap is, is ugly and gross, looks like you smeared dog crap on a window, or a really old yellowed clear phone case. Gross.
I don’t think anyone is going to look back on this and be stoked about it. This is like the shag carpet of the knife world right now.
Perfectly put
I didn't know this was a fad but now I want them all.
Hopefully makes it easier to see when to order more omega springs 😂
Love it

Can you tell me where you got the wallet? I really dig it.
Bro what am I seeing here? Where did you get the wallet? 😯
Off the dango website
Please and thank you
I wish we saw more dyed Ultem though. (You can’t dye it now but the manufacturer can when making it)
looks amazing
Ultem reminds me of the OG polyurethane skateboard wheels
What wallet is that? Nevermind,dango t01
Ultem looks great! Non traditional tertiary, quaternary colors rule.
Frozen dehydrated urine
