I have a new Jefferson Spivey-Sabertooth knife,with a plastic handle.
Can anyone recomend or know where i can have a custom wood handle
made for it. I would also be willing to buy the slabs and send them with
the knife if that would help the maker? Any help appreciated.
 
If I may ask a question or two....

Spivey doesn't offer wood handles?

And is there anything in particular in the way of the handle you are looking for?

Marion, the current productin knives come only with the high impact
handles,whatever there made of. His older knives apparantly were more
custom made with wood and exotic handle material. I've e-mailed Spivey
but have not received a reply back. You would have to go to the Sab-
ertooth knife site and see the contour of the handle with the finger hole
to get a better idea. I just want a nice wood handle made to the contour
of the knife handle. If and when i find that person,then we can discuss
the handle material. Hopefully some one out there will have the time,
since i'm in no hurry. TKS.
 
I forgot to mention i did give thought to a cord wraped
handle. But don't know if it would be thick enough to
feel good in the hand with it's 7" blade,your thoughts pls.
 
Did you ever find a wood handle for the new Spivey?

Here's what we ended up with. Really nice desert ironwood burl.

Hi Phillip -

I love burl, and that is some good looking wood.

Thanks for the picture.
