I rehandled an old knife for some friends this weekend. I haven't done a handle like this before, so I spent a lot of time trying to keep the lines clean and sharp. I'm generally pleased with the results, though there are always things I'd do again on each of my knives if I could.

Looks great.  What's that material?

Looks like a nice clean job and very pretty wood. The first thing I thought when looking at the pics was, "I hope they're nicer to it now than they have been in the past, that handle is one heck of a lot nicer than the blade it went on."
Really good work keeping keeping it from looking TOO boxy with the angled butt. I like that touch. It looks better this way than if you'd just followed the contour of the tang, and better than if you'd squared off that bevel with the top and bottom. Very nice.
