Thanks Andy for the advice! I appreciate it. I know what you mean about the edges. I did these knives with a 20° edge, but the last knife I did had a 25° edge, and I like that a lot better. It's much narrower. I think I'll use that on most stuff from now on, and save the 20° for kitchen knives. The bottom knife was the first knife handle I ever made. I like the feel of these in my hands, but my hands are really big, so I had to keep going in the house and check with the wife to see how they felt as the people I made them for have much smaller hands than I. I think my big hands are going to be the hardest thing to compensate for when making a knife handles for someone else. Thanks again!
