It's about that time... Giveaway!

Not an entry for me, I recently picked up an 81, but thanks for doing this generous GAW! That's a nice looking example 👍

I suffer from analysis paralysis on this one 😂
I enjoy a variety of handle materials, that being said I lean heavily on the natural vs man made, although I enjoy those too. They all have their place. Everything from some good looking wood like ebony/ect, bone, stag, and stacked leather always look great. They have a certain 'warmth' to them when you pick them up.
That being said my favorite is probably a well done jigged bone. The aesthetics are always a joy to look at & feel the individual texture differences. Almost like a worry stone, I often just use mine to fidget with when I'm not even using it.

Sorry that probably wasn't much help.

Good luck everyone!
 
Thanks for the GAW! My favorite handles are either stag, bone, or certain woods. Stag can be amazing, or it can be almost a waste of material depending on the cut. Jigged bone can be the classiest or most garish part of a knife. And as for wood- I would have to say that if I could only choose one material for the rest of my knives- I’d go with black ebony.

The depth of the dark color on a nice piece is endlessly mesmerizing for me because it’s not something you expect to find in nature- sort of like a black jaguar. Familiar, but stunning!
