I have a fair little pile of rare exotic wood now and decided to try my hand at knife handles.

Scales on knives are the TWO seperate pieces that are fitted to each side of the handle. A full solid wood handle is just a handle.Looks nice, David! What wood is that?
I have a friend who makes knives and knife makers call the handles 'scales' - I don't know why.

Pictures of the end.can we see the ends of the tangs? usually the end cap sticks out quite a bit and I'm interested to see how youve made them flush.
Of course, I didn't realise that it was as easy as this clock of mine, a block of wood, make a couple of templates and rout away!.Scales like this theres nothing to show progress. You glue a slab of wood on and shape it.
This is refered to as a full tang as it the full width and length of the scales.
