My ancient paws grip large things better than small things. I suggest you consider an oversized handle for ease of gripping.

Wustoff makes some of the best chefs' knives around. This from their website:
The jewel of the WÜSTHOF collection, IKON has beautifully designed handles made of African Blackwood (Grenadill). African Blackwood is known for extreme density and has a distinctive wood grain. IKON full-tang knives are precision-forged from a single piece of an exclusive high-carbon stain-free steel and feature a distinctive, double bolster. The double bolster design provides exceptional balance for effortless cutting. http://www.exoticwood.biz/africanblackwood.htm

mission16 said: Post a WTB on Swap N Sell and you'll get some response. Otherwise, google knife scale blanks and you'll find many sources of knife scales that will suit your purpose. Bell Forest Products and Woodcraft are two sources. Woodcraft has cocobolo (rosewood family) and Burmese rosewood. Bell Forest Products a gazillion choices including African Blackwood and all manner of rosewoods.
