My mod/restoration of this knife

Roadie · **on:** August 19, 2009, 08:18:35 PM

Neil has kindly offered to give me the black knife in the photo below on the grounds that I do something with it! So what handle material should I go for?

Unless you're prepared to paint the wood vivid pink then I'd go for something synthetic.

If you can find a source of it at a reasonable cost I'm up for it! Had a quick nosey round and the only bright colour I can find is Orange (not that i'd be against that!) $:-\$

Go for somekind of neon green... would be cool.

Neil · **Reply #11 on:** August 19, 2009, 08:41:45 PM

I'm only aware of orange in the nice and bright dept. Where were you looking at getting it from?

the knife in the background with the wooden handle who makes it please? the reason I ask is that I see it available at a shop near me.

Wood, and pinks for tarts

Some nicely curled birch would be cool

John · **Reply #15 on:** August 19, 2009, 08:55:53 PM

How about cotton wool in the colours pink,white and blue this would represent the society our Government are trying to mould ATM

Now a more serious option would be titanium scales

I demand jcarta with glow in the dark powder mixed in.

Would look good with stabilized wood though...

sorry, that'd require a new poll

Nope. Don't like the look of it personally. That's just me

I don't buy my wood from knifemaking suppliers anymore. I buy "turning blanks" from a woodturning supplier. The quality of the wood is often better and cheaper...plus there is more variety.

I've only found a supplier of pen blanks in the UK and the blanks are too small

Anyone recommend a UK supplier?
