Handles
For the Food Industry, Kitchen and part of our Trapping and Hunting/Outdoor lines we make many injection moulded handles. These handles consist of various amounts of plastics and thermal plastic rubber for a desired feel and non-slip grip. For different colors we add color concentrates. We have assorted styles to choose from, most of which are already suited for each blade. All of the materials that we use in these handles are food safe.
In our Trapping line we use various hardwoods such as Oak, Maple, and Birch on two of our fleshing tools. Part of the Hunting and Outdoor product area consists of custom knives. In these knives the handles are made from many exotic hardwoods, stabilized woods, micartas, bone, antler and various synthetic materials. Exotic metals can be used in functional and/or cosmetic pieces.
