Knife handle wood?

Recommended Posts

I recently bought a knife blade from Tromsøin northern Norway.It has a taperd tang and the handle was traditionally hammered onto the tang.I would like to make a handle out of hardwood and this method would probably result in splitting the handle.So I'll make a two peice handle,releive the area the tang sits in and epoxy the halves together.I have some seasoned Oak deadwood that I slabbed,what would others reccomend as a stable alternative?

Very good suggestion,thanks!I will score some Reindeer Antler just to be a bit different.There is no shortage of that stuff here,just have to find the peice that "feels" right.
