Even though I have already expressed my view that we should have a Maple handle - the reason being it is not seen as commonly as any of the micartas, or ivorite, or walnut materials - I beg your indulgence in permitting additional considered opinion.
I look forward to anything the membership finally comes up with and am in for the whole deal. I have hoped however, that we would have a unique (or as nearly so as possible) knife to commemorate RKCC this time.
Within the constraints of what is possible and available from the system I do believe we should try to be as special as possible. We can purchase/order the usual sort of handle easily enough - particularly micarta, but you just plain don't see a lot of Maple and a beautiful birdseye maple really is attractive and not often seen.
Birdseye maple, aluminum and red spacers, nickel silver fittings, stainless steel, and a somehow uniquely marked sheath.....
Thanks for the chance to continue presenting an opinion and I hope many will join me in the idea and concept. Come on, guys - lets go unique (maple and etc) Respectfully, alabamafats RKS 1876, RKCC 620.
