Wa handle tips

[Daniel Macina]

I am planning on doing a kitchen knife with a Wa handle soon and was wondering if anyone had any tips as far as the Wa style handle. Might be above my skill level buy hey you learn by doing right!

Not really much different from a typical hidden tang handle...... it goes real easily with a handle broach for the wooden portions...... and careful filing/fitting is the order of the day for the metal portions (if you choose to go that route)
