Don't know what the handle is but the knife reflects the craft of its maker. Another beautiful knife. I enjoy your work.

Me neither :) I received the wood without any name or note. But it was pretty interesting. Must be some fancy type.
Thank you very much for the appreciation! :D

Hellize, Looks like either burl walnut or desert ironwood. Good looking material whatever it is ::tu:: Terry

Thanks a lot! :)
Yeah, it does look kind of curly from up close, you could be right ;)

I would agree;it might be Circassian burled walnut. Looks like the wood they used to use on Rolls Royce dashboards and window surrounds.
