Dave's handlework is superb - looks like it should be OEM. Adam's is also good - but his handles are usually a bit fatter-than-normal (not sure if by design or not) - so if you have big hands, you could consider them - but they never really look as chic as dave's.I can personally attest to the quality and attention to detail in Dave's handle worktop notch. If you're so inclined check into purchasing some wood you like from Burl Source. Look at Dave's sticky on woods he likes to work with.
I do not have any of those items, especially the last one !!!Why not try rehandling it yourself? I've quite a few knives and have tried various methods, everything from all power tools to no power tools. If you were willing to try, you could get it done with a simple set of files/ rasps, sand paper, hand drill and patience.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but western handles I am considering will be for my knives only. I simply don't have time for any custom work.A western by Marko, now that sounds very promising.
I did do handles for a while but had a few issues that dissuaded me from doing so. Lately my efforts have been concentrated on knife making and wood working.Doesn't Mike Martinez do handles too?

I know he was out of action for a while.
