I play a little with some new handle materials(new for me ).
So, the blade is Böhler N695, blade dimensions are 3x25x105, full flat grind, knife length is 23,5 cm, handle materials are bras, corian, stabilized birch burl with some colour in it

Thanks for watching.

Nice puukko.

How does the corian feel and hold up as a handle material?

 

[zenaldiak]

Thanks guys.

The corian is a fine material, specific weight is something like other sintetics(G10, micarta - need tappered tang or more holes in the tang on fulltang variations),can be finnishing niceley , mirror surface not a big ishue with this material I think is strong and can be fixed well with epoxi,s.Can find in more colour variations.I,m not a big fan of corians, i like woods, but in some configuration is viable choise and look nice.

Sheath is very nice work, too. Really love the look of the wood... looks like a great cross-cut piece, and I like the color transition.
