Natural horn, bone and antler have long been valued by knife makers for the individual character they bring to a finished handle. Buffalo horn offers a rich natural appearance and can be shaped and polished, while bone provides a versatile handle material in both smooth and textured forms. Antler and stag retain even more natural variation, making each finished handle distinctive.
Wood knife handle material provides another traditional choice, combining warmth, natural grain and workability. Crazy Crow offers wood in scales and blocks for custom handles, including materials suitable for Green River, Bowie and other historic-style knives as well as contemporary custom blades.
For knife makers who prefer a modern engineered material, Micarta handle scales offer an alternative to natural materials. Available handle materials can be selected according to the construction of the knife, desired appearance and the amount of shaping and finishing the maker wishes to perform.
Crazy Crow also offers ready-made knife handles for selected round and hidden-tang applications, providing another option for completing a knife without beginning with unfinished scale or block material. Whether you're building a Green River knife, Bowie knife, historic reproduction, rendezvous knife or your own custom blade, selecting the handle material is one of the steps that gives the finished knife its individual appearance. Browse the different materials, sizes and forms below to find the knife handle supplies best suited to your project.
The assortment itself supports those material distinctions, and Crazy Crow specifically describes its wood stock as suitable for Green River, Bowie and custom blades; its ready-made bone and horn handles are intended for round or hidden tangs.
