That's the best handle I've seen you do yet - very even lines and smooth curves. The finish is also very good and the finger groove looks as close to perfect as is possible. Did you drill it?
As for the blade, I certainly wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of it...

thanks,
what do you mean by drill it? the finger grove? i did that with a sanding drum.
I drilled holes in the tang to make it lighter...

the bevel was actualy a mistake I had wanted it to only go up about an inch and a half but i slipped after about 5 houres of me going
"ohhhhh nooooooo!!!!!" I sat down and did somemore grinding and fixed it up i thik it looks better that way.
