I've always been impressed with NDK knife handles so I decided to try one. Nate has been so amazing with helping me I'll add pictures as it progresses      |

Holy crap, Ali - look at you go!
Can't wait to see your progress pictures. This is something I've always thought about trying, but have been too much of a weenie to actually start.

I had to take a second look. First glance I thought it was wood. Are these slabs for the handle? If so that's pretty cool! (Either way it's cool but I don't think I've seen stone used for a handle before)

It's better that scale popped off now when there still some meat on it. If you had them fully shaped it would most likely be a PITA to get it lined up again.

I'm still working on getting the other side off so I can epoxy it |
