    i am working on a hand tool design. it's going to be a wood & metal handle. i have attached an example.

    as you can see with the handtools examples (screwdrivers) i am looking to achieve this look. they look to be hand-made.

    i want the quality to resemble the typical kitchen knife handles of some manufacturers - example also attached.

    i have no machining experience - so naturally, i have some questions.

    are there one-stops machine shops that can create this design? or will i have to contact both a metal shop & wood shop?

    does anyone have a recommendation for a manufacturer in europe that can provide this service? possible a kife manufactures? - seeing that i want the design to have this look & finish!

    lastly - the finished product may be oocassionaly tossed into a dishwasher. does anyone recommended what types of adhesives for the metal/wood - can tolerate this abuse?

    thanks in advance!
