Res-c also can't handle the twisting and torque a blade the length of the skizzy would put on the handle
What makes you think that?
that's what Dan told us at blade, he said they tried to and tested several different resc handles but they twist to much, I guess they just don't work on a blade that length
Cool...first I've seen anyone post on that comment. It's interesting to me. I had originally thought that a longer (2-hand) piece of res-c would work best with multiple rivets down the length of the shaft (similar to most of the busse micarta handles). You would think this might counter any rotational flexing...but perhaps it doesn't.
Thanks for the info Jared!
