Knife Handle Contours

I am modeling a knife handle in Fusion. I have the shape extruded and plan to fillet the edges at the end, but would like to remove some of the handle material to give nice contours for the hand.  I've made the handle already out of wood and know the exact dimensions I'm going for, but can't figure out how to create the exact shape and cut out the material when looking down from the top of the handle. 

 

I've attached an image of the cutout I'm going for and hoping to find a process to address.

 

Apologies if I'm misusing terms, fairly new to CAD.

Hide the Blade.

Draw the top down contour sketch.

Use Extrude,

Select the contour,

set distances to cover the whole handle, 

Fusion will Preview as cutting (Red), change the Operation to Intersect (yellow)

 

There are other ways ...

 

Might help...

Thank you!  Worked perfectly.  Didn't know extrude could do that!
