All About Pocket Knives

Here's a cherrywood

There are so many kinds of wood, and different grain types and colors, there must be a thousand reasons wood is my favorite handle material. You all have been showing a great variety, cherry wood, lace wood, different burls and ebonys - the list could go on all night!

Did someone say "Wood"?

Opinel #9. My most commonly carried knife....

Think this is my oldest Cattaraugus. Old wood handles and a straight line tang stamp. Any opinions?

Don't know about yours, but it's sure pretty.

Mine is a brand new Buck 301 in Rosewood.

Nice ones Rick, Jacknifeben, Wosey, Mike B,... some fine lookin' specimens you all are posting up!
Here's a Robeson Shuredge, handle material is Robeson's "Shurwood"...which according to my research "is a compressed composite material made of multiple layers of wood, perhaps rosewood, and a phenolic resin."
I like the looks of it anyway...

Great thread! Some really beautiful wood being shown here …

My stuff's all over the place right now, but I did manage to locate some wood …

Here's a little Bear lockback...not sure what the wood is, I believe they call in "camo wood" or something like that.

Lovely Snakewood.

Here is my newest GEC Montana Workhorse Whittler in Jobillo wood.

I posted this one elsewhere, but had to add it in here on the "woody thread" as well...plus it's posed on a tree, so...

Went looking for information on Jobillo wood and found this. Thought it might be interesting.

I've shown this pic before......but heck, I'll show it again.

I use this pic as my PC background.

Here's a Ken Coats Custom I had made for my sons graduation from collage.

The Cherry Burl handle was made from a piece of wood he harvested as a young boy from our hunting property.

Keith that's a great looking knife with a great story behind it.

What a nice graduation gift.

I am sort of wood poor.
