I'm having a buddy make me a knife. He wants me to pick out the scales/handle. There is way too much to pick from, so need some advice.
Wooden handles: If you were going to use wood for the handle, on a hunting/skinning knife, what wood would you use?
Yea, I know there a lot of variables, but it will be used for skinning, and he is just getting started.
I have a lot of cherry, in which I can make a ton of scales for him, but how would cherry hold up?
Thanks for any advice.
