Its interesting to me how the shapes for these handles works out. There's no scales, so the whole handle is very thin, which means it has to be broad to fill the hand...

The center of balance is basically right in the middle of your palm. It feels like it weighs nothing when you're holding it.

Still more work to do on the edges. I think I'm going to leave the sides as-is, it reflects the primitive nature of the material.
