Show us your sticks (finished handle projects)...

[birdsfan]

I plan to start making handles as well and am also interested in any recommended resources.

There are a number of great tutorial threads on here, which fully explains a step by step process. Between here and YouTube you can really get a pretty good idea how to get started. It has always been my experience that just about anyone on here is willing to spend some DM time helping new handle tinkerers get started. For what it is worth, I am planning on posting a thread documenting how I do a western handle. Stay tuned......

Very cool, thank you @birdsfan, you're always a help.

They really do cut supernaturally well, I have three (at least one is the Watanabe version of the same knife). Crap handles though! I am tempted to try making a handle, can you recommend any starter resources? Cheers!

I guess I need to try another Toyama. I got a kurouchi version and it was 'meh'. All the love I had heard and then THAT.
