I'm thinking a nice grainy dried oak cut really thin and oiled up dark.
Something like this center wood.

That is a nice job! I have made two knives from saw blades and you cant beat the way they will hold an edge. Here are two that I have made the one on top is from a file. The handle is not done yet. And the bottom is from a saw blade

Well, you answered my next question...how'd you get that "perfect" curve?  __________________

Well the blade I used was carbide tipped so I had to cut the curve off then I reshaped the curve back in.
