IF these are from your google photos I am not sure what the story is on those - I have had hit and miss luck with those being seen here on the forums.
I think I have all but given up on trying to use google to host any images.

I can see the pictures in the latest post - nice look to the knife!

The basic blade shape is called a drop point hunter. Bob Loveless made them famous. The butt shape is called a dropped butt. I can see why someone would use the name "fawn's foot" but I never heard it called that on a knife before. However, the end of an axe handle is called the fawn's foot.
Is that cut on the end grain?
Cocobolo does not need stabilizing ... mostly because it can't be stabilized. It has such an oil content that it is good as it is.
I never wet sand any wood on a knife. That is asking for trouble.
End grain looks fantastic, but will eventually crack 90% of the time.
If I was to give a new person only one tip on handles it would be:
NEVER use end grain on a handle ... it will crack.
That block of wood you started with looks like it would be great for turning on a lathe. Chances of a wax coated block of wood being dry enough to use for a knife handle is very slim.
