Allright. So far we've decided on a design, and a grind.

Here's what we have so far:

I'll soon be setting a flat grind on that knife. What I need your input on now though is what kind of handle material it should have.

Basically almost anything is an option. But just to get the ball rolling I'll show some pictures of wood I have in stock:

On the left some pieces of Olivewood, on the right a very gnarly type of Oak that I got from a staircasemaker. 

Next up a MASSIVE block of mahogany. Not the prettiest wood. But hardwearing nonetheless.

Also I've got some Spalted apple wood. This wood was dried and cut by a friend of mine from the states. If I use this I'll have to do some stabilising on it.

Also in need of stabilising would be these pieces of Sycamore and Spalted sycamore (pieces on the left) but the American Walnut (on the right) won't need stabilising.

btw, the checkering in the piece on the lefthand side is all natural. That's not dust or something.

Then here's an Ebony and "ivory" combination. The pale wood is very light maple. Extremely hardwearing but so light that it's almost like wooden ivory.

Here's a piece of Katalox with Sapwood:

And finally a piece of Black Palmwood:

.But I'll consider any suggestions, Giraffe bone, jigged bone, other stabilised burls/woods, stag, ivory (if I can garantuee a buyer and the ivory isn't too expensive), Micarta

No G-10 and no Carbon fibre though. I don't feel like getting dressed like this:

Just to put on some handle material.

So use your imagination....or just pick something from what I presented. As usual what gets the most support is what I'll end up doing.
