I’ve made a few handles with fancy wood but going back to walnut makes me appreciate how amazing this wood is. Look at this grain ! And it’s so cheap as well lol. Very happy with my two latest handles. Last picture show the two blades I’m currently working on. Can’t wait to finish those projects !
Left one has a rosewood ferrule. I’ve been wanting to try that combo for a while, tell me what you think about it !
i personally like blackwoods best. (i think brazillian nightmare tree is actually the very nicest feeling handle wood but really shouldn't cut those trees anymore. )
walnut to me is the nicest of the common woods though. other nut woods are really nice too though. and so is red oak and cherry.

Nightmare tree wood is a kind of Brazilian Blackwood. It shouldn’t be available anywhere since it’s endangered now. It looks the same as ebony or other Blackwood. Has the same kind of tight grain.
