The blacksmith says W#1 (and B#1) should be about 65. I saw this SteveG vid for the Fujiyama W#1 from 3 years ago. He states HRC is 61-62 but you say its about 65. Has the HT changed recently for blades with the new grind, to achieve this higher temper? Are the batch of blades individually tested t...

I really like this set too much not to add it here, even if the individual handles are aready posted here.

Sold.

Ooohh yeah!! B&W Ebony with an alternative Cocobolo spacer. This style shows off the handle!

Feel free to message me for detailed photos/measurements.

New wa handle design to show off this B&W ebony with a cocobolo spacer! This is definitely fitting for the Fujiyama petty. What do you think?

Sold pending funds.

Are there are good resources/videos on how to make a handle? Maybe I can give it a shot at some point, haha.

There are several out there. Hit google.

I am sure if you post a step by step progress many of us will chime in.

Holy cow! Thank you, but...
Everything I have been told is that horn stinks when shaped. If I stink up the house, the wife and kids will throw me out and force me to stop making handles.

I truely appreciate the generousity.

Nice job Tim.

For sale - Experimental Pinecone #2. Definitely better casting here. $120 shipped in the US or best offer.

I can’t get enough of this shig! Tamarind Burl with sandwiched spacers maple and Blackwood. The voids were filled with black epoxy.

Thanks! It's definitely an amazing hybrid block and Ben did a great job of transforming it to this killer handle.

Thank you

Anyone have extras laying around? I am looking for anything from shapton pro, glass, or even an Our World is Flat. Open to others as well.

I am not rigid on brand or grit.

Look at this Amboyna Burl with African Blackwood and Karelian Birch. Damn, this mates well with the Kato.

I am getting back into listening to podcasts, do any of you listen to knife related postcasts? other non knife recommendations are also welcome.

thanks,
Ben

I was wondering what was redneck about it till I got to the third photo, hahahaha

Same here.

Amboyna burl with blackwood and birch.

Ben you've started off the year with some beautiful woods! Jeff, thank you. In all honesty, the clients deserve much of the credit. Most projects start with brainstorming/figuring out what the client wants based on photos they send me. Sourcing wood is another step, some people hoard nice wood. I h...
