All Things Handles

[wadebevan]

Hey All,
I just wanted to get another thread going on things related to handles, methods of attaching handles... all things handles.

My first questions: 
where do you get your corby bolts or other handle hardware?
what is your favorite(s) handle materials?
what would you think is the best material for daily kitchen use?

Designing my next knife, and would like to start doing things proper instead of just making things up.

Thanks,
TW.
