If I left my SS5LE in a hot car, will the handle loosen or come unglued?

The SS5LE is my first blade with Res-C handle and it is great! Feels very good in hand and just may be my favorite 5" blade.

another interesting fact, leaving a scrapyard blade in your vehicle will improve power and gas mileage in your vehicle. :]

Left my Muk on a hot stove way to close to the heat for way to long. It did manage to melt the handle a bit. I'm sure pretty the only way res c will adjust is if you hit cooking temperatures.

You are fine leaving the knife in a car during the summer time. Now if you leave the knife in a heated oven then we might have a problem....not with the handle but with the heat treat <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />.

I wonder if anybody at Scrapyard HQ could tell us what the melting point of Resiprene C is? Just for curiosity sake. I know some of the users here have modified their handle by heating it with a typical butane lighter. I very much doubt that you'll melt it with hot-car temperatures, unless you happen to live in the Gobi desert and cover your car with black plastic.

Couple layers of black plastic..Just can't see that happenning.

It doesnt melt in Iraqi summer heat.

I kinda answered my own question as yesterday it was 97 degrees where I live and I left my blade inside my car. The handle wasn't even warm to the touch. Good stuff!

It does seem to be hurt by the Heat of a several summers in Phoenix, which is located close to hades.

Just kidding, No problems here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
