Original Ka-Bars have a leather handle.
The handle is made of stacked leather "washers" compressed tightly.
Either you mistook a well-used one for wood, or the handle has been replaced.
For display, I recommend having a cabinet shop build you a "picture frame" display case.
This is a picture type frame with a glass cover only thicker than one made for a picture.
You mount the knife on a thin board covered with velvet.
This is then mounted in the frame with a glass cover to protect it.
You can either stand it on a desk, or hang on the wall.
