What type of handle material is that? It looks like it's all metal.

Very nice work...I love to see the old Westerns...and Black Beautys especially cleaned up and ready to go back to the field.

I love to see a couple of knife saves like that. Good job to you both. Here is my latest edition a redbone 744 punch-never sharpened, had some staining and have been rubbin and rubbin; rubbed so long I thought a genie would pop out. From Casper Wyoming. I always find it interesting to keep up where these things come from. Another cowpoke save.
