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?

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.

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
