Handle material choices
I am making a knife for a friend who works at a small meat processing plant. Since he wants to be able to use it at work I had him check to see what kind of materials would be OK. They told him no wood handles so I'm trying to find something that will work. It is a hidden tang so I need a pretty thick piece of whatever I use, so far all I've found in composite handle material is only up to 3\8" thick and I'm thinking I need more like 1". Any suggestions on what to use and where to get it would be appreciated.
Thanks Sam |
