Yes, it sure is a beautiful handle. The walnut is shop supplied. Perhaps it is stabilised, it says so in the Randall catalog. They gave me this after twice rejecting my own black walnut burl :-). The piece they put on a matching Nr 2 is even more stunning. I'll post that one on the Nr. 2 page.
This one made it's way from the shaky side a day or two ago. Seems like you don't see as many 6 in. blades from this time period. Bad thing is, no sheath!
