Blade is purchased, handle is Imbuya Phoebe? Turned out pretty nice. Have to make a sheath now.

Nice, a split handle but no tang showing.  I like it.  Good job!  Now how do you pronounce that wood?

Try Brazilian walnut! LOL! So says wikipedia. The tang is hidden because it seemed too small to fit my hand very well. The scales were routed out with a dremel & router bit so the tang would sit flush once the scales were glued together. I think if I had taken more time the line between halves would be less visible.
