What is this handle material?

[Monofletch]

Someone asked and I didn’t know. Any help?
Thanks.

Looks like a burl of some sort. I'm not professional by any means on handles.

When in doubt PM Garth. He will help if possible

Someone asked and I said wood. I didn’t think it was one of a kind. But, I don’t know much about Busse Custom Shop stuff.

Thank you. It is one of my favorite knives now.

I found a CS Lil Smokey that has very nice handle scales... I'm thinking abalone or mother of pearl - anyone have any guesses?

 

[Nuker]

It doesn’t have the color variation of abalone, my guess is MOP. That’s a winner for sure. Don’t see many handled like it.

Edit:
Or… that neat smoky bowling ball type acrylic they do.

Yeah it could be epoxy resin acrylic! Good thinking.
