Japanese Wa handles

These are Wa handles that I made to fit my knives. They are dummy blanks to play around with the sizing. I slice mine to have a color change where the copper and the upper part of the handle would be. These two files are the exact size on these knives.
They do not fit on a knife handle the tang groove is only 100 thou deep.

For kicks, the handle pictured is Ebony, copper and Marblewood. For sanding the corners, I use a 45 degree jig on my 2x72.
