I've never done it before, was just thinking. 
I don't leave flat areas on my handles as there are no flat areas of the hand.

I think ergonomics of handles warrants it's own thread...
Reckon that really compliments the blade, great work all round

I don't post here much, just lurk!
I am the recipient of Marks first batch of 3! firstly thank you all for the kind and encouraging comments re the handle and how it has worked out, took some head scratching i will tell you, I wrote off a set of G10 scales getting it wrong
The material is stabilized Masur Birch on the one you see, my next one is intended to be G10 and i will forward images to Mark.
When I first approached him with my request for something "like" a bird and trout he was his usual enthusiastic and helpful self, with lots of good comm's and ideas, what he has come up with has surpassed my expectations and is a testament to his understanding of blade AND customer requirements whilst still showing his artistic flair, he has been an absolute pleasure and a gent to deal with. +1 Mark, thank you.
PS, Sheath pictures to follow
