Fun little project - Brisa Bigmuk handle

[Wasty]

Hi Everyone and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

Today I accidentaly stumbled upon the Brisa Bigmuk blank that I really found nice.... and for less than 60€.... I could not resist...



Made of 80CrV2 Carbon steel with a nice 240mm (9,44') long blade and a sensible 4,2mm (0,165') thickness it looks like a very capable chopper...

It will get a simple kydex sheath with a dangler, that is what I can work on with without any issues...

Well, now for the handle material? Shall I use standard micarta or something more fun? (Stabilised wood or Suretouch or ???)

Any Ideas?

You all have a good one

Ironwood is always great.

Snake wood but "dat price!"



Tiger wood.



OD green and black G10.



Cow killer micarta.

That blade shape says Walnut, to me....
Have Fun, good luck.

Maple burl would be my choice, for contrast with the black.

Hickory. Simple, but serviceable.
