Production large folder wood scales?

MTHall720 · Apr 12, 2014

One of the reasons I have been focusing on traditionals lately us I love wood, bone, or stone/shell for the scales/handle. Anyone know of a large (about 4 inch bkade) modern liner lock with scales made of natural materials like those mentioned and is a production folder?

My buddy has a couple of lonewolf knives with wood scales. Seem like they're pretty nice.

Viper Knives Keeper or Mcusta Tactility are both offered with attractive wood scales.

If 3" +/- of blade will do you, then the classic Buck 110 or a Buck Duke will be a great choice. I have gotten several from Heath Stone at Stone Knifeworks, and he will make you one with whatever scales you choose for a reasonable price. I have examples in Stag, Sheep Horn and several different woods. These knives are available bone stock with wooden scales. I also have a Lone Wolf Tailout model which has nice dark wooden scales--not sure what type of wood, but it is a quality knife,

There is also the benchmade bone collector series and the crkt natural. If you want to get spendy you can look into a large sebenza with wood inlays.

Benchmade Grizzly Creek is just coming out.

My large Sebenza w Gabon Ebony wood inlays is fantastic looking, I love it so much I find it hard to use! That's just me though...it has a bit of sentimental value to me. Paired with the gold lug and spacers so cool and slick. I can post pics if it interests you!

Top to bottom: Fox Deimos Citadel with brown ziricote wood (4.5" N690), Viper Rhino with pau santo wood (4.25" N690), Viper Start with cocobolo wood (4" N690):

I got these all at ExtremAddiction.

Note: The Viper knives are backlock but the Fox Deimos is liner lock.

Lionsteel offers quite a few of their knives with olive wood or cocobolo handles

However, they're either small folders or fixed blades. OP asked for large folders.

Some knives that come to mind are the larger Opinels, the EKA Swede 60 with wooden scales, the Buck 110 and the Buck 277 below. Also check out Böker.

For the OP that would be Opinel No. 10 with a blade length of 3.94".

Very nice knives and not nearly as expensive as they look.
