I work in an older steel mill as an electrician where some of the original lines (rolling units) are Westinghouse electrical. We still have some of the stuff laying around and in service. I ate off of a table for three years where someone covered a tabletop on an older lunch table with about a 4x8 sheet of it (probably not healthy lol).
Anyway I was stunned when I saw such a niche handle and was maximizing the pics on my phone to look at it. My first thought was wow, that’s the real deal. It looks as if the handles were made off the table top I ate on or insulators I walk by that the material is actually used for. I am thinking about picking this one up based solely cause it hits so close to home. Also thought about buying it for an older electrician friend who is retired (my mentor) and who would know what the handles were on sight. It is a very distinctive rust color, very cool.
Hope this helps. Any chance I could order a knife (or two) with this handle material custom in a model I want more?
