The coolist twists I have seen would be the block twists recently shown over at forgemagic and the twists made with 4 pieces angle iron bact to back forming a cross with round stock in the angles and then twisted.

The handle on this knife is made from 1/2" square bar. It was done by reverse twisting and then hammering back to square. Gives quite a good grip.

I noticed this one on Ebay a while ago and saved a picture because I liked the handle so much. It was made by someone named H. Willis.
