They are looking much better now with the grooves on the handle. I would suggest that proportionally the bulb/butt is a bit large in comparison with the spatulate/blade end but Im sure you have seen images of the real Macoy & knew this already..? I'd also hazard a guess that this is beacause you need the extra size to accommodate the holes. Where were you thinking of inlaying the paua? And where was this stone from again?; looks a bit like the coveted NZ 'flower' jade...? T3 :)
