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!

Dark woods with subtle metal/bone accents.

A nice wood for everyday use, but I really like the pictures I've seen of Abalone scales dso I might have to add one of those to my collection at some point.

I've gone off ivory/bone lately as they're animal products, not sure why but I feel better about using a nice bit of olive wood than a bit of animal. (not wishing to start a debate about this btw).

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

I love the combination wood ones. Where a lighter colour is put into the middle of two darker parts or vice versa...kind of a la Vlad's latest project.
