Woods I Use for Handle Work - Q&A / Information

[Johnny.B.Good]

You may be surprised at how comfortable that handle is. been around for 140 years for a reason.lol

I have read some reviews where people claim to like them. They sure don't photograph very well. Maybe Dave would mimic the shape for me in black Corian...

[sachem allison]

my recommendation is to smooth all the edges, round them over and you will feel the difference. They are usually ebony handles also

[Dave Martell]

Sounds like fun.

Then how does three black Corian Dave Martell rehandles sound? (10" chef's, 6" slicer, 3" paring).

Sounds like triple the fun!

1. A handle from Dave, for any knife, won't be uncomfortable. He wouldn't ship it out feeling crappy.
2. I don't like the Nogent handles either.

[Dave Martell]

Just a reminder, something worth noting for my rehandle and Martell knife customers....

I love when a customer wants to shop for their own woods because this makes the results so much more individual and uniquely theirs, I have to still insist on some standards to be followed though. I listed these items at the beginning of this thread, here is a link to that post. Please read this and if you have any questions please ask before you purchase wood and send it here for use.

Recently I've had a lot of too thin scales, wood from unknown sources, and wood of questionable quality coming in. I have to refuse a lot of this wood and I hate doing this because it causes the customer a lot of grief. Again, please check with me or make sure it qualifies for my standards before purchasing.
