The handle on this piece is made from prickly pear cactus skeleton impregnated with resin. It can be buffed to a mirror finish, but I ain't that kind a girl.....:p

This is the link to the manufacturer's website. http://www.turntex.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage&Itemid=28

I sanded it to 320 grit, then 0000steel wool, and finally finished it with 2 coats of super glue with 0000 steel wool between coats.

It is on a piece of Alabama Damascus. My new EDC.....

This is the manufacturer. He has one retailer (Ankrom Exotics) that went to Blade this year. That is where I picked up these scales.
 
Very nice! I did not think they would be that expensive. The sticker kinda surprised me. Still pretty sweet!
 
Have to go to the neighbors yard and hack off a few pieces of Cactus.
Seriously the stuff grows wild here, just curious as to how they do it?
