There are countless choices at your disposal. I hunt a good bit (Been a member of the same hunting club for over 40 years) and have used many..many combinations of knife models, blade material, hilt-n-handles, etc. etc. I have a couple that are my favorites and a good many folks here already know about them.
"My" preference for an "actual" user would not be ironwood for the handle material due to the fact that is gets slippery when you're up to your wrists in blood. I like materials that are easy to wash up with hot soap and water. etc....just sayin'
Stay Sharp,
Capt. Chris
