Evolution of a D Handle

[Marko Tsourkan]

I have been thinking about wanting a cake and eating it too and, and here is my answer to the purists. Blackwood makes a pretty good substitute for horn (in some way it's better, as its movement is comparable to cocobolo while horn is not), and has less chance of a failure, so here you have it!
El Clasico!

Jsut like the one you made for me, except spacer was ivory and handle was ironwood. A classic indeed!

Looks great Marko!

Love it, but maybe the ferrule is a tad short?

I can make it a little longer, but a long ferrule doesn't look good on a D handle. This one is 1 1/8".

I like it!

It might be the picture. In person this one is aesthetically perfect.

I have decided to include brass to the materials I am currently offering for a guard, so the full list of choices will include nickel silver, brass, bronze, and DT mokume. Material in the picture is nikel silver.

1/4" yellow brass (added to a choice for a guard) is on the way.

Beautiful, Marko!
