etting a clear idea of what is hot in materials for knife
handles can be diffkult. Asidc from obvious factors such
as personal taste or intendcd use, there are considcrations
of supply and demanii and national/international economics.
"Typically, in our business, whatever is 'hottcst' has more
than one answer," observes Kristi Culpepper of Culpepper & Co.
"People may be looking for what's hardest to get and consider
that material hot because of its rarity." Shannon Edgington of
Knife & Gun Finishing Supplies (K&G) has a similar take.
"Stabilized woods are hot and look great, wíth box eider burl
the most succcssful dyeing wood," she says. Aside from the
woods, Edgington noted that water buffalo "is being jigged to
look like impala and stag." Mcanwhile, girarle bone continúes to
get heavy use as a bandle material.
"H's pretty hot because it's available, and you can get it in
natural dyed colors, and it can also look like ivory," says Sandy
McClure of Girarfebone.com, which deals primarily in African
materials. '"Iherc is plenty of giraffe bone because lions are still
killing giraffes through a [natural] culling process," she notes.
A diffcrent perspective accompanies trends in synthetic han-
dles. Chris Hartman, co-president of Masecraft Supply Co., says

1-800-874-7007 tomer knows how to care
for carbón steel, so mainte-
nance is not an íssue.
The other kind of cus-
tomer will return a knife if a
BURR KIHG IADVANTAGE spot of rust shows up. "Those
folks are better off with a Spyderco," Toler
Sin ce 1957 notes. "Occasionally, I'll see one of the
oíd guys come in and buy a Spyderco, but
that's unusual."
Boker, Queen and Eye Brand pocket-
knives in carbón steel are also good sellers
for Toler, with such Queen models as the
mini trapper with D2 blade steel a special
favorite. He says D2 is "almost stainless"
but not quite. About the only fixed blades
¡Grind, polish, buff with Knives Plus does much business with is

ioltow grind, fíat grind, Even in today's world of hi-tech al-
ontour, slack belt, vertica loys, the age-old carbón steel still earns
or horizontal platens its keep. Maybe it will continué to do so
