Will you be building handles on a blank again? Or going full out and making the blade as well.

 

b.t.w. I didn't mean to say that the square handles were uncomfortable. Just that they might be. Some people like em that way. Just look at E.S.E.E. knives. They're all quite square.

Pretty wood. I noticed you made two identical blades. Did you just do the scales this time or simply make two blades?

For the next one see if you'd want to make the handles a little more rounded. I made my first one really square and it was quite uncomfortable (not saying yours is). Afterwards I smoothed down the edges a bit more and it made all the difference.
