Thread: Knife Handles

At the request of a fellow member, I'm posting photos of some (most) of the handles I have made for knife blanks.

First handle I ever made on a Spyderco Mule. Leopardwood with Wenge bolsters and G10 liners, mosaic pins.





This one is Katolox with mosaic pins. Hardest wood I've ever worked with. Ruined a couple of jigsaw blades. This knife will be my daughter's when she gets older.



Padauk w/ Wenge bolsters



The top one is a neck knife with micarta scales. The bottom one is Leapardwood and Katalox.

A few more:

My brother loves Purpleheart, so I made this one for him. The other wood is Canarywood.



This is probably my favorite. Stabilized Maple and Natural Micarta.



Made this one for a friend. Stabilized spalted maple and green micarta.

This was the original handle on this knife when I received it:



I liked the knife, but hated the handle, so I removed it and made an attempt at at a hidden tang with stabilized Redwood burl.









That's the same Redwood burl that I made my first razor scales from. The pictures don't do this one justice.

Some sheaths in addition to the ones in the pictures above. All made by me:

Thanks for posting these. Those are really beautiful. The sheaths are nice too. That is something else I want to make too along with my own holsters.
What kind of knife is that with the redwood burl and the other with spalted/green micarta scales. That redwood blows the old scales away.
You've certainly took your time making these scales.

Yes, nice job on the scales and sheaths. Your very talented.
