Help me find a handle material for this knife.

Post by Scale Military »

Hello all! I was gifted this knife in the POS and kinda wanted to re handle my TL-29 and maybe add thumb studs to the blades to make the easier the open.
If anyone would have ideas for handle materials I would be most grateful! :)

A sugestion: Black linen or paper Micarta.

That appears to be in good shape.

Exotic woods are nice, but it is hard to beat stag. My next one will be done in ebony.

@FRJ Yes it is, it still has the writing on the second blade.
