Can you guess this handle material?

Post by muskrat man »

This was a new experiment for me. The knife is a western 442, A really cute little knife, had ugly delrin on it first. But, can you guess what the new handle material is? You won't win it, but give it a shot anyway :D
Hint #1 It is a natural material.
