Thanks OldHunter,
I really like the look and feel of the Shoto knife.

Here is a Damascus knife I added Purple Heart scales to.

get a chunk with a good feeling palm swell to it, and it has
some gorgeous stag bark on it to ruff it up a bit, stag....100%

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.
