Nice! What's that wood and who's your go-to source for stabilized wood?
Pins/glue require more hand work... like was said driveing up the price.

Koa wood. I use a lot of guys:

Ben Greenberg at Greenberg woods
Arizona Ironwood
Kiran’s Koa
Xotic Blanks
Rockinblocks

Looks great! Also, if they did that handle, they would charge around 899.00

That would be a bit drastic. But you are likely right. They don’t need to use koa, even just curly maple, walnut etc like winkler

This is Magnacut with a little flex by @feanor . I "custom" corked it, made a sheath, and polished up the edge. For the purpose of a boning, joint, semi flex blade that's easy to keep honed, Magnacut is the perfect use case. This is headed out to @satchamo today.

This thread has me wanting to play around with making some custom knives. I’m not ready to dive down the blade making rabbit hole but I’d like to play around with making custom handles. Is there a supplier out there with decent quality knife blanks? A lot of what I’ve found looks to be cheap junk.

USAKnifeMaker carries a wide variety of blanks. Maker Material Supply also has some good ones, the brand BRISA they carry gets good reviews.
