You can use most anything for the handle if you make the shape ergonomic enough. I've used stabilized burl woods this way.

Or, you can use a 'practical' material like Neoprene or cork. I used Neoprene quite a bit by pinning it to the tang with 1/4" Micarta rod.

As for the length, I'd say at least 6" and probably not more than 9" will do just about anything you can pull out of fresh water. You're free to make this knife any size you like but 6" - 9" is enough to get the flex that we're shooting for with this KITH...
