Gents,

I've got a Fallkniven F1 that I really enjoy but never cared for the rubber handle. I cut that off, used a carbide bit to drill a second hole in the handle, and have corresponding brass pins. Now I just need to figure out what to choose for handle material. Ironwood seems practical. I also have access to ebony. Any other suggestions? (Or pictures of your scales as examples?)

Thanks y'all.

I like micarta. Burlap is my favorite. I don't know why but is seems to be the least used micarta. It has a "grip" to it when wet.

Check out gcarta.

I like the mescian blanket, but they do alot of neat designs / colors.

Somewhere ive got one of the Bark River knives f1 from 15 or maybe more years ago.

Cant remeber if it was lamited steel model or not.

Micarta handle.

The blade itself is laminated VG-10 but the handle isn't laminated. A carbide bit got through it, but it took some time.

Looking forward to seeing your finished knife.

👍👍

I've used Ironwood and Cocobolo to make some pretty attractive knife handles.

I think I've settled on ebony. Will post pics when done!
