Litch Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/11/08 Posts: 1332 Loc: Rhein/Main	Originally Posted By: Hemingway Aluminum seems to be a pretty popular one here. Before I vote, I have a question, having never held an aluminum handle---doesn't it get very slippery when it's wet? C - Aluminium Mine gets used a lot and still feels great - it's definitely less slippery than micarta! _________________________ Peter RKCC CMI-006 RKS #5720

Chuck_Nan Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/18/05 Posts: 174 Loc: Rocky Mountains	Captain, has old growth cyprus ever been used for handle material? I know those old logs are brought up from the bottom of some of the old rivers in Florida. Don't know what it would look like, but bet it is bullet proof! _________________________ Chuck Fraley 32 KCCH RKS #4806 Lifetime HOG since 1991 NRA Benafactor

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 13185 Loc: Central Florida	I'm not so sure about the bullet-proofness of water-logged old cypress. Living and breathing cypress is pretty cool stuff. We have all seen wall clocks and tables made from cypress for sale alongside our Florida highways. For years these were some of the best tourist traps! As tough as lignum vitae is (and I don't think anyone can argue that who knows anything about it) it still gives me (and the Randall shop) fits. Cracking is common on my handles. I have probably used more LV than anyone on Randall knives, with over 100 made and ordered. I would be cautious on the cypress. Besides: I don't know where one would go about locating some that had been properly cured, dried and stabilized. Could be a real bugger to complete the build..."BUT"...(I know, I know)...I don't care what we build. Keep those ideas comin' folks! Best, Capt.
