Thanks the handle is Ironwood, musk ox spacer, and an Amboyna ferrule

Mike,

That is fantastic! What is the spacer, and wood?

Great looking stuff Mike! Makes me want to buy knives just to ship to you for new shoes. Love your work.

Looks awesome Mike!

Any chances you need an apprentice in Russia?

I can post pics again, had to turn off the advanced picture loading. Guess I can live without it.

Fran's Shig

That Shig handle is impeccable!

Recently was doing rehandle on my own shig and when handle was done, I hit a little bit too hard with mallet during mounting process… and now I need to start over from scratch

I keep coming to this thread again and again to see how a really well made handle should look like. Awesome job Mike!

 

[Fran Rendina]

Beautiful job Mike, can't wait to see it in person

 

[mhenry]

Thanks! I still break handles all the time

Fran's knife looks great.
I like the thin spacer between the ferrule and body of the handle.
To me it gives a touch of class.

Specs?
Whaaaa?
I love it whatever it is. super funky.
I dig the contrast of the woods.
Nice one Mike.

Great job on Fran's shig. I know she's been looking forward to it. Congrats to you and her.
