I get most of my steel including o1 and stainless from MSC supply and alpha knife supply. Those two tend to have everything I need and they have fast shipping. For handles I recommend Rob carper innovations, alpha knife supply, and a local hardwood store. Rob carper does great hybrids and other neat scales but he is quiet a bit more expensive. Alpha has a huge selection of g10 for a good price, and hardwood stores are great and super cheap. I was able to get six 4ft boards for 55 dollars, some of those woods were cocobola, wenge, and purple heart. Hope that helps.

Does anybody know where you can get kryptek highlander handle scales. I saw them recently on a knife and know I really want some, but I don't even know if you can get them. I saw them on a Buck knife.

I did not know that. How come that happens?

I coat my knives with olive oil and on some I have put a vinegar patina. The knives don't rust horrible if you regularly oil them but as soon as you slack off they rust like crazy. Here is the sheath for the first one.

The first knife is 1080 and the handle is glow in the dark pinecone and wood. The second one is also 1080 with a cherry burl handle. The knives rusts extremely bad.
