Metal99, I was thinking of using cocobolo for my handle also, in scale form, but for diversity's sake I might go with wenge instead... not sure yet.
I know I'm new here, but I have to give my take on people's concerns regarding making a good quality knife and having a lesser one given to them in exchange:
Do people actually do that in a KITH? Would someone actually put garbage into it in the hopes of getting something nice in return? I'd be very worried that my reputation as a (albeit very new) knife maker would be tarnished if not ruined by that kind of behavior.
I know the quality of my work won't compare with that of a lot of the good makers in this forum, but I'm going to do my best and hopefully make something I'm proud to give away, hopefully learn something in the process, and hopefully get a nice blade from someone else that I can also learn from.
