Handle Gallery

The handles shown here are some representative examples of the different shapes and types of wood that can be used. When possible, I try to use exotic hardwoods because of their beauty and durability. Because these woods can be quite heavy, after milling the handle pieces to shape, I hollow their undersides to reduce their weight before attaching them to the blade.
