handmade Damascus steel hunting knife

[frankstromain03]

One of the most important qualities of a knife is the handle's grip strength and level of safety. There are many traditional knife handle materials that may not be the best choice for multi-function handmade Damascus steel hunting knives. Some of the more traditional materials such as wood, bone, molded plastic, or even leather, can be smooth to the touch and very slippery when wet with rain, sweat, or blood. This can cause unsafe grip strength and lead to serious injuries. For higher grip strength under these conditions, you may consider some of the newer materials being used in the manufacturing of top-quality knives. Both rubber and composite material can give you a safer grip and are very durable in even the most unfavorable conditions. The newer materials are also being manufactured in more colors, and textures to give them a more stylish look.
