Hello all. As I'm starting to do more knives, I guess I'm starting to develop a style, and have tried a few variations of Wa handle. I'm not sure which one I prefer, so I thought I'd see what y'all think.

Thanks
 
I suppose one could assume that everyone is not comfortable with just one available option, possibly offer a choice of the three for custom orders. For now pick the one that suits you the best. I find all three have their own attributes, preferring the bottom myself.

P.S. very nice work!
 
I like the bottom one if you clean up the butt so it looks like the top. The top has the nicest wood and finish at least as far as pics go. The top has nice lines too but I think the taper on the bottom is nice
 
Wow, nobody likes the shape of the middle one. That one was my favorite. (I guess that says something about me and the choices I've made in my life.....)

The pics are from my phone, (thanks to the jackass who broke into my house a few months ago and stole my camera, along with a couple of damascus hunting knives I was hoping to try to sell) so they don't show the finish.

Thanks for all the replies.
 
I do like the middle one better than the bottom one. But yeah, it seems the top and bottom are more preferred.

I vote for top one , but would like all three more IF but is cut straight and with little rounded edge .....
 
The top and to an extent the bottom one are what i think of when I think Wa handles. However all three look nice. Well done.

I like the top shape. I place small facets on the corners, which appears to be what you did, too.
Personally, I don't care for either of the other two.

Maybe give us a view that shows more . I think everyone is being drawn to the ones that look as clean as possible. I think another angle and you might get different answers.
