HC Handle Archive

I keep coming back to this page to admire these two lignum vitae handed knives. I really dig these handles. Got anymore of this particular wood left? If so I think I can see a fun little discussion in our near future?

Yeah, it's one of my favorite woods. I have a dozen or so blocks of it left.

Here's a little Carter I just converted from a western handle to a wa handle.
The handle material is spalted hackberry with nickel silver accents.

Similar to these knives before....

and after.

[Hattorichop]

The model type of the nickel silver?
I purchased it at jantz knife supply. You can find it in their metals section under the sub section "flat bar".
It comes in many different widths and thicknesses.

hi guy！the nickel silver，you use how much grit sander to finish？

Here A 240mm konosuke fujiyama gyuto I made a handle for. It is constructed of lignum vitae with a musk ox horn ferrule. I put a nickel silver spacer in the end of the handle and also another nickel spacer between the ferrule and the body of the handle. There is even a nickel silver split dowel where the tang of the knife enters the ferrule.
