I'm quite willing to buy blades to take advantage of the blade smith's skill and experience.
I don't want to pay for a handle of the wrong size and shape for my hands.
I have bought some whole crooked knives from Pacific Northwest makers.
At least, the handles are all big enough that I could shave them down if I wanted to but
so far, they are untouched.
The handles of mine in p0st 14 are glue ups of rosewood and mahogany. They also show some variation in size = the experiments to find the proper handle size for me (7/8" dia.)
The blades sit in a shallow inlet in a puddle of JB Weld Epoxy.
The cord whipping is largely cosmetic to cover my sloppy epoxy work.
