This is one is the third different set of luminous handle material that I have tried and probably the best option I have found yet. The handle glows very well, but needs to be exposed to a fair bit of light first. The material is a little different to look at and to work with compared to the other luminous material I have used before. It seems to be flakes of luminous material mixed into some sort of resin. The handles are very hard and take a lot of sanding to finish well. They look a bit plain in the day light, but really come to life when they are in the dark.
This knife is a version of my hunter pattern, but with a bit more drop at point than normal. The steel is 3.5mm Nitro V with cryo treatment. The blade is a full flat grind. The handle is a tapered tang, with the luminous resin scales, green G10 liners and stainless Loveless bolts & lanyard tube.
The bottom two pictures show the handle in a dark passageway, then sitting on a bench top in a completely dark room

Using this this morning. It’s an old Blackjack made by Bark River. 1095 steel. A bit thick and heavy, and ugly too. But handles and cuts like a demon. It has a good high and thin edged convex grind.

Cool. I like mine. The new blade shape is a bit different. Obviously you like it if you've kept it for that long!
It had more belly but has been honed away over the years. Like it - sentimental and practical.Quote:

Thanks Southcity! No, it’s not a tapered tang. Blade on this one is so thin, a tapered tang would make no sense.Quote:
