Can you give a ball park price for what you charge for handles like above?

I hope this post doesn't violate rules admins; if so I apologize in advance.

Check out my Etsy store for current inventory ready for sale bensbites.  You can find me on Instagram @bensbites or @Ben_makes. Instagram will have items listed before they hit the Etsy store, sometimes items are snatched up before they get that far.  Something that I have made and it sitting on the shelf, $80-100. If I have to special order woods, I add my additional costs on top of that. 

You can also check out the bensbites subforum on chefknivestogoforums.com. One more note, chefknivestogo buys my handles wholesale and mounts them on blades or will sell them to you. 

Thanks for your interest. 
Ben

Excellent craftsmanship! 

You guys are too kind. 

I may be in touch...
What dimensions does the tang need to be to fit?

V-nice! What kind of wood on the pattern welded blade?

The blade in question has a leopardwood handle with maple spacers and african blackwood.  The other handle is african mahogany.  

Gorgeous. You made Eggcelsior's awesome knives even awesomer. Great work

Thanks, never seen a sample of that. Fine to look at. How did you guys decide for that? Just, "looks really cool"?

He asked what I had available at the time of purchase.  I sent some photos over, and everyone was happy.  For custom projects I have worked with people to find wood they like. There are a wide range of colors and grain patterns to choose from...
