Thread: What is your favorite handle?

What floats your boat?

Personally, I like wood and bone. I think a nice set of ebony scales with a very small MOP inlay would be sweet!

Good question - I'm still trying to figure that out. Only thing I can say for certain is that I prefer natural materials, probably woods. However, I do like the look of your more contemporary scales as well.

For occasional use there's nothing like a pair of ivory scales. For every day use either horn or wood are my favorites.

A nice wood is a good bet. Nothing to worry about with the water for the most part, and the better woods really are beautiful when finished and oil rubbed to a warm glow.

I'll also vote for wood, but some of the scales that Bill and Vlad have put together...definite tongue waggers!

Jimbo, I did not take you for someone who prefers wood scales, I am surprised! There are a lot of nice wood scales out there though - do you prefer the stabilized varieties?

Ahh, so young and so naive. Well, I have finally worked out that I dislike wood, stable or unstable, for scales. But I do prefer endangered natural materials - ivory or bone etc. The more endangered the species, the better.

How about extinct? does it rank highly or not at all?

Hi Darrel,
I recognized your name immediately. I have a couple of DDR3's.
