Colonial Knives

Grohmann Outdoor knives are available in many steel/handle combinations. Handles are as important to the quality of our knives as are the blades. And since all handles involve natural materials, no two handles are alike. Safety, comfort, balance and lasting beauty  are handcrafted into each one. After all, your knife must "feel right".

Rosewood Grohmann offers our classic Rosewood in many beautiful variations. Ranging from deep, rosy brown to blonde strips, each handle is quite unique as no two handles are ever the same. Plantation grown mainly in East India, this special wood is selected for its durability, colour & rich grain. Rosewood is always an excellent choice for a quality handle.

Xtra Water-Resistant Resinwood These eye-catching handles are made from layers of natural hardwoods impregnated with resin. The beauty of wood, a high gloss finish that does not require any future liquid finishes, not affected by extreme temperatures & resistant to the corrosive affects of salt water are just some of the reasons to choose Xtra Water-Resistant Resinwood.

Linen Micarta We have added the black linen micarta to our line as well, available on most outdoor knives. Micarta is commonly called the "steel of the plastic family" for its strength and durability and is similar to G-10. Composed of layers of linen soaked in resin, it is lightweight yet tough, has a slighty linen textured look but fairly smooth to the touch when finished.

Stag Horn Made from shed stag horn, a lasting natural choice that is pleasing to the eyes as it is to the hand. The natural grooves & indentations make a secure grip as well as providing a unique handle with every knife. Nice enough for a presentation piece but durable enough to use. Very limited quantities left due to the stag ban...some models are sold out of the staghorn, which is why we have introduced the new Jigged Water Buffalo Bone below as a natural, but less expensive substitution.

Water Buffalo Jigged Bone Can't find the model you want with staghorn and don't want cheap plastic fake stag handles? We have just what you need. Real Water Buffalo bone has been jigged and coloured to look like staghorn. Bone has more consistant properties than stag, less marrow, and more even scales, so turns out a very eye-catching product. Water Buffalo handles are naturally water-resistant and extremely durable. Available on most models.

High Lustre Water Buffalo Horn All natural Water Buffalo Horn handles have a high shine finish with colour variations from jet black to black with streaks of pearl gray and white. Water Buffalo handles are naturally water-resistant and extremely durable. Available on most models.
