I have been experimenting with some new handle designs.

Thanks for looking.
 
Thanks for all the kind words. I am making a few of the top design to trade with a new knife maker I met on another forum. I wish I had known how much I enjoy this hobby 10 yrs ago.
 
I have been playing around in my head with similar idea's for some time but never put any of it into practice. Nice to see what it can work out to. Thanks for sharing and my compliments on your work!
 
Ok, I made a few more and fixed some minor blemishes in the first couple.

The designs are very unique, my concern is that some of the tang holes seem to be off centre on that batch. Is that intentional as part of the design of some of the handles? Or is it just an effect from the pictures?
 
The very left one the hole seems somewhat out of center is that intentional?

You are correct. Good eye, I leave these tang holes very thin, approximately 1/16 inch, so I can enlarge and center them later. I am still refining my process so that it is not necessary.
