>>502930Twine. It is a temp handle until I can locate my box of antlers again. though, I may put black cherry on when I go to make a butcher's block table later this season. The twine actually turned out better than I thought it would and on this knife I prefer it over a regular handle. Although, on this one I applied glue to it. I may remake it with twine and epoxy and put it in a clamp to cure.
