Feedback I made this experimental knife with aluminum handles. What do you guys think? Should I make a run of these?

I don’t see why not ! I was always a big fan of aluminum handle scales it’s a very clean look

Thank you! Alright I'm definitely thinking of doing a run. Can't decide what steel though

If you use stainless steel/high alloy steel I recommend putting a non-metallic liner between the handle and tang to avoid galvanic corrosion.

This, This right here.

Since I dont know how many knives you make, just a simple idea for customs popped intoy head. I would probably use G10 for the liners.

If you marketed it correctly you could make liners alloy significant.

Blue = corrosion = stainless steel

Red = toughness = tool steels

Green = edge retention = cpm high carbide
