That's pretty cool looking,buy one? Probably not,wouldn't mind having it hang in my man cave though! But not for $300+.

Not no but Heck no!!! I would either buy a factory St. Croix Legend Extreme or have Moon wrap up a serious custom wrap St. Croix with solid Titanium frame guides.
The same guy has on listed at $699.00 what a dreamer LOL.

I'd imagine smooth until you scratch the heck out of the epoxy coating. It would probably also fly out of your hand if the handle is wet.

Indeed it is. lol no way! I'm not one for these kinds of things. I agree with you TUNAVIC. It's more like a display mount than anything.

I'd probably do the same. The handle is truly for the enthusiasts.

There was a dude named "Tacklejunkie" here who successfully used the skin of a rattlesnake and wrapped his handle in it. Then he added a thin epoxy coating to set it.

Turned out pretty slick, and more functional than what appears here.

Wish I had pics.
