The new owner picked out beautiful Ipe for the handle and requested a stunning custom coral colored mosaic pin fill. 
The mysterious “MM&M” monogram on the back will have people pondering its meaning for decades to come!

It’s no mystery at all - this knife is going to France, for the personal use of Monsieur M&M, local spokescandy for his brand. “Zey melt in your mouse - not in your and!” The special pin decoration signals new colours on the way. 
I had to look up what an ipe tree was, and what the wood is like. The handle is beautiful, but when you get the chance, give your saws and drills a hug from me.

LOL, I’ll send them your condolences. 
I’m sure your monogram theory is the first of many that will be postulated… 
Short version with details missing or wrong: it’s embedded in melted plastic; when the plastic hardens into a block, they cut a knife handle shape from that.

“Theory”? Hmph. 
Moose, Muskrat, and Marmot: it’s a very difficult to use skinning knife.

My guess would be epoxy rather than melted plastic, but yeah, something like that.

Let’s just revise my disclaimer so it says “major facts also incorrect” 
Epoxy. Yeah. That’s it.
