Well im not sure if this is the right place to post this,but im currently "making" my first knife/knives.Ive had this old ontario old hickory knife for awhile,finally getting around to working on it.It had some real bad chunks out of the edge.I traced the shape of it onto paper,drew up a design i wanted,taped off the blade,transfered the shapes,went to town with my trusty hacksaw,did some serious shaping with a medium-ish single cut file(havent done anything with the cut-off piece yet),now im wondering if i want to attempt re handling it.The stock handle isnt bad at all but i would like to do something with a little more look and feel to it.I have an old axe handle i would like to use the butt from to do it.Again im new to this and dont know alot yet,i dont use any power tools and am currently reading up on re-handling knives.

here are some pics:
