Mr. Vini,

At least my mother loved me. I heard you were an only child. Probably cause when you were born, your mama took one look at you and said enough is enough!

Best Regards,

Easy now guys. Thanks for all the info (and charts). Even considering the Coriolis Effect and manufacturing techniques, they still look like cracks to me.

Crunch the lines on that knife handle are not cracks; they're flow lines from the thermoplastic injection molding process. Ask any real knife expert and they'll tell you the same damn thing expect maybe with diffrent words.

:?: J-Man, I will take your word for it, I am merely a novice. Do those lines appear in other acrylic/plastic handles like blue or violet? :?:

you wont really see that in other acrylic handles, because they are made differently than PearlEx handles, its the nature of the suspended glitter particles, whereas plain acrylic handles dont have those suspended particles.

Sometimes, sometimes not, most acrylic is usually a solid color, it's also a plastic, so it's easy to modify so they can easily inject modlings etc.
