pappy19 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/31/07 Posts: 7437 Loc: Garden Valley, Idaho	In Arkansas there was hickory, oak, Osage Orange and walnut. Personally an Osage Orange would definitely be awesome and unusual.

Billy Poyner Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/25/11 Posts: 2185 Loc: Mississippi	Chief Bro I'm like you about Brass.I polished to much while in the military. I don't know what type of of wood wa on the handle.Just like I don't know if it was originally forged in Louisiana or Arkansas. Seems like nobody else does either. _________________________ Billy Poyner RKCC CM 021 RKS 5030 NRA Endowment Proud to have served my country 67-69

Chief Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/05/05 Posts: 5414 Loc: Baton Rouge, Louisiana	If everyone is OK with it we can get the Captain to pull from his stash or find Some cool wood like the Osage Pappy mentioned, subject to the Captains approval of course. I'll spring for it so it doesn't mess with the funds.....we usually don't build the big boys might as well go all out if we can. _________________________ See Ya, Chief RKCC CM-037 RKS #5154 If you put off following The LORD just remember......They don't serve breakfast in hell!

Wally Knife Enthusiast Registered: 07/08/06 Posts: 2444	Walnut is probably the best choice, historically speaking. You can find some gorgeous figured Walnut too. _________________________ Wally
