Re: Handle material survey
Camillus, Your Japanese Shoto is very eye-catching - nice! OH
Deep in the guts of most men is buried the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the nape hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with club...Robert Ruark

Thanks OldHunter,
I really like the look and feel of the Shoto knife.
Here is a Damascus knife I added Purple Heart scales to.

Re: Handle material survey
Here is a set of steak knives that originally had faux pearl handles that deteriorated and fell apart. I found these pieces of stag at a yard sale for 50 cents apiece and fit them to the blades.The grip is amazing and on my personal knife I left the spur coming out the side attached.It makes a perfect thumb rest.
