Wicked Ironwood Scales

[ptgdvc]

In addition to collecting knives, handle materials are a passion for me. Here is a little Ironwood.

Here are some Merino sheep horn scales, not too bad.

Great looking materials Peter. I'm really getting the ironwood bug.

One of my favorite past times while at Blade is examming the beautiful handle material that's always available there.

Here some mammoth I've been hanging on to for several years now. They are just looking for a knife.

"They are just looking for a knife."

DANG!!! I think they might look pretty good on a Hancock hunter, like RAN's.

Not quite long enought for that handle, but don't think I haven't thought about it.

There's something deeply fascinating/satisfying about
really prime Ironwood burl.....Love it.

That is some of the nicest ironwood I have seen. I really like that mammoth ivory of Kevin's as well.

 

[Kevin Jones]

Anyone else have some beautiful handle material squirreled away for that special knife?

 

[Keith Montgomery]

No photos, but I have a modern walrus ivory tusk tip (13"), and a 5 1/2 inch long piece of narwhal tusk.

Kevin, that mammoth ivory is just unreal! I think it could look great on any kind of knife!

Thanks.
I don't have any custom folders. So thought I might save it for my first.
