Handle shaping question

[on_the_edge]

On a knife with an exposed full tang, what is the correct (best?) way to shape the handles so that they are symmetrical in width and contours? Is this just something you have to "eyeball" or is there some machine that will make handles more exact so as to be essentially mirror images of each other?

Thanks!

You probably want to ask that kind of question in the Knifemaker's Forum, not this one. More experience there, and the folks are real friendly and willing to share.
