Handle material??

Post by dmgibs1 »

My first silly question. I have read all of posts and looked at the research and still can't be sure of what some of the handles are made of. I know some of you experts can give me a few places to find some good answers.

Some of what handles? ::shrug:: Assuming you’re referencing the knives in this picture you posted a few weeks ago, it appears you have a mix of synthetics (plastics, celluloid, etc), bone, and wood. We’ll need to see them individually to tell (or guess) which is what.

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

I was just hoping that there was a way to learn to tell without doing it one knife at a time. I will start with the ones I know for sure and then come back for your help on what I don't. thanks
