It is not a big deal to make good handle from nice wood, and it will be cheaper then have the same from manufacturer. Almost any scandinavian knifemaker selling blades - even Fallkniven started now (I asked them about this 6 monthes ago, that time they did not). Why nobody in US doing the same? I am big fan of KaBar 1217. I'll be glad to buy D2 blade for let say 50$ :) and make wood handle from cocobolo myself.
Thanks, Vassili.
 
I am doing this already with Helle, Lauri and Karesuando blades. I also have blade from Roselli and Hankala, but did not even start yet.
The only problem is - I like to make some big knives, like KaBar and Fallkniven and SOG Bowie...

Thanks, Vassili.

Ya know, people do things like this all the time - its called "kit knife making". Check out www.knifekits.com to see kits/blades made just for this purpose. :)

Some custom makers do kit blades, I just dont know which ones, but I have heard of it. Might ask in the custom forum.
 
Thank you very much. I know about those guys. I am asking about brands - like KaBar itself or SOG etc. Well known proven design premium properly heattreated steel etc. Helle for example sells laminated blades - same they use for knives.
I like to buy KaBar D2 blade, SOG Bowie or Trident blade etc.
Thanks, Vassili.
