What You Need To Know About Hunting Knife Handles
Wood Handles
Hard wood is one of the most popular materials for knife handles. Hard woods like Cocobolo, Rosewood, Ebony and Bubinga are used very most often. Other more exotic woods that are used are Guayacan, Pakkawood, Rose/Root. Wood handles provide good grip and are warm in the hand, but are more difficult to care for. They are relatively inexpensive and are easy to be shaped by the knife maker. A well shaped and polished hard wood handle feels extraordinarily good in hand while holding it or using it for cutting and slicing and they also look aesthetically very nice. They do not resist water well, and will crack or warp with prolonged exposure to water. Modern stabilized and laminated woods have largely overcome these problems. Many beautiful and exotic hardwoods are employed in the manufacture of custom and some production knives. Whatever you do, do not let a wood handle knife soak in a sink full of water. This will cause warping and delimitation of the handle. In some countries it is now forbidden for commercial butchers' knives to have wood handles, for sanitary reasons.
Micarta Handle
Micarta is a popular handle material on everyday work knives due to its toughness and stability. Micarta is impervious to water, is gripable when wet, and is an excellent insulator. Micarta has come to refer to any fibrous material cast in resin. There are many varieties of Micarta available. One very popular version is a fiberglass impregnated resin called G-10. Other types of Micarta, a composite synthetic material made of linen or paper with epoxy resin is commonly used in handle material. This is very strong, extremely durable and light. This comes in glossy or matte finish for grips and can be extremely durable. These are one of the best choices for tough heavy duty knives. Paper, linen and denim micartas are available for different degrees of toughness. There are many different polymer materials available, the best among them being ABS which is a high strength polymer that can be molded very easily and kraton - a springy polymer, mostly used as a flexible inlay in the grip. Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon is a polymer that can be molded using injection molding.
Horn and Bone Handles
More exotic materials usually only seen on art or ceremonial knives include: Cattle bone, mammoth tooth, mammoth ivory, walrus tusk, antler (often called stag in a knife context), sheep horn, buffalo horn. Many materials have been employed in knife handles. Stag is extremely popular although it is becoming more and more costly and rare. The charm of stag comes from the rough texture of the surface that gives a nice grip to the user. Some feel that it makes it hard to use. Stag handles should be carefully chosen after trying out the grip. These days many artificial handles are available to replace stag handles.
Leather Handles
Leather handles are seen on some hunting and military knives. Leather handles are typically produced by stacking leather washers, as a sleeve surrounding another handle material. The fabrication of the leather handle consists of soaking leather washers in a solution than stacking them one on top of the other on a sleeve then compressing them together with a clamp and let to dry. This process preshrinks the leather so it will not shrink after the knife handle is completed. Once dry the clamp is removed then contact surfaces of the wet formed dry washer’s then need to have contact cement applied to contact surfaces. The contact cement takes just a few minutes to dry, they are then epoxied and stacked on the knife tang exactly how they were compressed the first time, clamped and let to dry. After drying the knife handle is then formed on a belt grinder. Great care is advised here. The grinder belt will eat leather like nothing else you have ever ground. A light touch is advised! The use of square leather washers is for a grinding index. It creates an index to keep the roundness of the handle in proper prospect. Finish the leather as desired, and apply a good sealer.
Rubber Handles
Rubber or textured handles are also available, as these are soft on the hands and provide a pretty good grip during wet conditions. Rubber handles such as Kraton or Respirine-C are generally preferred over plastic due to their durable and cushioning nature. Rubberized handles, due to their composition are the best grip for a hunting knife. They may not be the most appealing in appearance but are the least expensive and will hold up to vigorous day to day use.
Summary
An important decision that you should considered while buying a hunting knife is the grip offered by it. The handle should offer very strong grip because you will face such situations where blood will affect your grip on the handle. Pay attention to the contour of the handgrip while selecting a handle, it should be comfortable to hold. You should also look for the right kind of balance and weight between the blade and handle when selecting the perfect hunting knife.
