The first one's a really cool Schrade Walden fish knife, even has a cap lifter on the back!

It's not the most beautiful of woods, but nothing beats stacked birch bark for comfort and feel. When brand new it is luxurious and velvety. I applied a few coats of Tru-Oil to protect the wood from the elements, and now it almost feels like leather.

Christian, I've never seen a stacked birch bark handle before, VERY cool!!

Peter, is that handle birch (wood) as well?

Eric,

This is my first and only birch bark handled knife. Birch bark is a traditional handle material for Nordic knives.

Christian, I have one from Russia with birch bark handle and brown micarta butt and guard.
Blade steel is Russian version of BG-42, an excellent, tough edge-holding stainless.
It's super light weight and VERY comfortable in the hand.

After a lot of time trying to track down one of these elusive little buggers, the mailman finally arrived today... It was well worth the wait! :thumbup:

Conductor is one of the great GEC patterns!:thumbup: Time for a re-run and of the White Owl too, getting tired of these awkward house-bricks GEC has been offering lately :D
 
It is very generic for me to say this, but I mean it with the utmost sincerity; thank you to all who have posted up your beauties, I duly appreciate it! I really need to teach myself some self control, so I must refrain from pursuing some of that I have seen here.

I think you boys have inspired me to start collecting some wood-scaled slipjoints. It may be my youth, but for some reason, I never really appreciated wood as a handle material for what it really is. I think I may have one of my SAK's that my grandfather gave me recently in Ebony; I know it is not truly 'traditional', but it has history nonetheless!

I'll get some pics of the Opinel he gave me that I fixed up; the pics in the thread I made a while back do not give justice!
 
Thanks for the compliments gents!

Will: Couldn't agree with you more sir, I'm definitely a lot more partial to the 33 and 68. I would have much rather seen a White Owl in linen micarta than the Lumberjack, but maybe that would be breaking with tradition??? ;)
