I like the finish on the blade, going from"right out of the forge" to shiny smooth. That's cool.

That is really well put together. 

Is the Osage handle a solid piece?  I'm trying to figure out how you would pull that off with the tang.

It's split piece. I carved a recess to match the tang and added a little room for epoxy. Its alot easier than drilling it out.....at least for me it is
