I hate to be a nay sayer but....
I've got a bunch of UHMWPE around here, I use it to to make woodworking 
jigs that need to slide.  It's dense, and heavy, and slippery but it
sure isn't hard.  You can cut it with a sharp knife.  The stuff I have
wouldn't clink to save it's life, so it sure isn't what you've got....
