Thread: Native wood for knife handles

[QUOTE=SixtyTen;1632346]My favorite when I was making knives was Pohutukawa. Even when reasonably plain grained, it is quite nice looking. Its also hard as hell and stands up to use well. I made my personal hunting knife around 14 years ago and it has seen regular use and not a lot of care of the timber. Still looks near

Funny enough Sixty Ten I recognise that photo. The puriri wood handle knife I have is one of yours, still going strong and has had plenty of use. You make a great knife.
