That looks great!  Is the "$50 Knife Shop" a good book?  I've wanted to read it, but I'm afraid of getting sucked into another hobby.

Oh yeah, it would look sweet! I would vote for a using a flemish bowstring to wrap it with. That would be fitting!

the knife is fantastic, did you think about doing a sort of tongue and groove handle,with two halfs one fitting through the handles middle to
sit into the other handle piece
