My trade is a signwriter so that's not the normal as far as colour goes .

As hunters , users and outdoors people who love knives do you want lovely natural looking timber with lots of figuring or bright dyed exotics and contrasting liners ?
Crazy Micarta's or linen Micarta's and earthy colours ?

The last few knifes I have made and sold as a Signwriter has made me take note , just looking for feedback on eye appeal, this has nothing to do with blade shape or handle shape / comfort .purely eye candy and appeal.

Viper / Medusa knives

I like Carbon fibre or all Aluminium/metal - something I can properly clean and a handle that is not porous.
