hell garry,
i know a guy that did not want wood at all!
but then he is known to be a bit odd.
bruce.
Who are you calling odd? That Maroon handle I had to have was for my wife. I've met a few Odd Bod's around the traps, you could be referring to someone else, some of the synthetics are fit for purpose. Horses for courses. Some bloke mentioned a Kephart knife and I googled one showing Maroon handles that started something. The other knife I handled with a Micarta handle was made by Kiwi fella for some Crow eater, nice knife
A left handed "D" handle on the chinese vegetable knife with black lacewood over brass on the L6 HC blade and a Serbian chef knife with stabilised willow on the 1084 blade.
I learned a lesson with the serb knife in that a wide blade like this is a real chalenge to snad after hardening so in future I will do a pre HT hand sand and do an antio scale coating to make things less difficult and time consuming

Garry, I really like the Chinese chopping knife style but for what it's worth I think right handed ones will sell better.

I do like the cross draw sheath, I considered it.
And I can assure everyone that Garry put a lot of work into the development of the 4x4 Hunter.
