Knives With Handle Patterns/Designs

[rodogg]

I'm trying to find knives with nice handle designs or patterns. Usually not my kind of thing, but have taken a desire for some recently. So far I've found but not purchased the Buck Limited Edition knives, pic:

And this nice knife:

I particularly like the second knife but the blade shape is useless for my uses.

Any help appreciated.

You know they do not make the knife cut any better .

Here are a few out of my collection that are unusual in shape or color or material.

Indeed. That jigged MOP seahorse?!? Killer.

Top left on the 4th picture is black lip MOP interframe by one of the makers who hangs around here. Mike Alsdorf.

That "sea horse" is actually based on an old Joseph Rogers exhibition knife from the golden age of Sheffield cutlery (Circa 1850 or so.) The design is based on the knife in the Sheffield Exhibition Knives Book.

Last picture. A discussion on unusual handle material could not be complete without mentioning the work of Don Hanson. No one I have seen does handles better.

That Rogers with dozens of blades?

Cool! I can see the "family resemblance," particularly in the small blades.

If you don't mind, what is the top right knife in the 4th picture? Is it from the same maker, Mike Alsdorf? I have never seen such a more beautiful, modern but with a hint of traditional looking knife before. Thanks!
