2018 BF Knife Poll 5.1: Wood Handle Materials

[PirateSeulb]

Sabercat that is the first example of Koa that actually looks good but I am thinking that is a 110 so we would have to shave some dimensions off but I think that it might still work as it is.

I will also change one of my votes to Koa now that I have some faith in it I will take it over Ironwood.

Buckeye Burl and Shockwood were my original favorites with Shockwood being $$$ I don't think any surge will push it to the top.

Buckeye is still my #2, but with 20 minutes left, this one may be cooked.

Koa could be today's ram though...

Here is a link to a YouTube video where a gentleman (not me) shares his Custom Shop Buck - with Koa handles.

I think Koa would work out pretty well.

If they're all as good...

I changed my vote to KOA (only).

Osage and Bocote are out of the running, and between KOA and Ironwood ... well ... I don't have a knife with KOA yet.

Burlap vs Ironwood vs Elk.
This is going to be a close race, I think.

 

[PirateSeulb]

Not for me Burlap is my vote of those 3 until I see stand out Buck Elk samples.
