I'm looking into having a firesteel made with a handle that matches a new knife... I'm looking for a handle design that I'm pretty sure I've seen before, but can't find any pictures of it right off...

The handle is roughly rectangular and elongated. It flares out at the front as sort of a guard, and has a wider flare at the butt end. The middle is sort of concaved... It looks like laying your thumb along it lengthwise would make for a perfect fit... Anyone know what I'm talking about? Or am I like the crazy drunkard down the street who just raves about random things like firesteel handles? ;)

In any case, post pics of your firesteel handles!! I may see one I want more! :D:D
 
Is this similar to what you were trying to describe?

Very similar... If the shape in the top picture were the same for all sides of the handle it would be even closer, though what I have in mind has a more pronounced flare at the front.

Thanks for the post, SDS! Thats a nice looking pair you've got there!
 
It sounds alot like the firesteels Bark River makes. Try DLT Trading or another one of their stocking dealers to see.
