Hey guys, I've been messing around with this knife build off and on for the last few weeks and am getting closer to finishing. Basically all I have left to do is polish out my sanding marks on the bevel and make a handle. I just thought I would ask for suggestions on handle material. If this was your knife, what kind of scales would you put on it and why? It's temporarily wrapped with paracord so I can use it at work for a few days until I decide on some slabs. I also wanted to make sure my heat treat and tempering we're where I wanted it. So far , this is a bad little knife.
 
I like the look and feel of canvas micarta.

I have used G11 (jade green) on a home made knife, and it was harder to work by hand, but not really an issue with a belt sander.
