I had a couple inquiries about this - Most of these handles can be customized to prefered size, they can bed thinned and the ones without endcaps can be shortened. If I have the material, endcaps can be added or re-added. Prices may vary

Also had a request for a better photo of one

Glad I registered on here. I'll definitely be buying a handle or two from on here.

I bought the olivewood and Chakte Kok and all I can say is - wow. They’re really, really nice. What great work.

Hello,
Here are a couple more to consider. Price includes shipping to ConUS

Thinning, shortening and installing available

Double dyed maple burl with g10/vf highlights
One piece of burl that is double dyed purple/golden. I shook it up a bit with flipping the center spacer for visual appeal. The photos show a little more color than in real life, the colors really are a little darker and deeper. Reminds me of starry nights.. Now I have a Don McLean song in my head.
Price $85
Weight 39g Length 127.6 Widths 25x22.3 tapers to 21.7x18.4

Brown Ebony with Corian spacers and vf highlights. I wanted to keep the classic beauty of ebony simple, this theme of ebony seems to catch my interest. It feels awesome in the hand, very solid and stable. Ebony adds a little weight, so take that into consideration. This photo doesn’t do the wood justice, you can see a better shot on my instagram site.
Price $80
Weight 52g Length 143 Widths 24.1x20.2 tapers to 22x18.2

D-shaped Red dyed maple with East Indies Rosewood ferrule and endcap.
I had a request for type of handle, after doing it, I wanted to do it again. It’s a bit of a thrill to do, as it is free handed more than octagonal chamfering. One slip and woosh...
Price : $70
Weight 36g Length 138.8 Widths 25.6x22 tapes to 21.3x18

So, at 138mm, what size knife is this geared toward?

That generally would hit 185-240, but it’s pretty light weight so it would balance with some 165s. I may even consider it with a 270 razor. Handle size seems to be personal, one person I work with wants all his handles <130mm even with 240s. Other people with larger hands like larger handles.

When making that one I was targeting the 180-210 gyuto/santoku or light 240. It could could also be used with 240 Yanagi/Suji.

One more for D-handle

Spalted Maple with Guapinolillo (whos heard of that before) ferrule and endcap, brass spacer. Ok, I’m getting off on shaping these, it’s a blast.

The Guapinolillo is a nice find, a local dealer had it and is clearing it out. I doubt I’ll see it again, may be worth the 5 hour round trip for the last of it. It’s a nice dense wood that smells like rosewood when worked. The tones work well with the maple.

Price $95 - Sale Pending
Weigh 45g Length 142.3 Widths 25x22.8 tapers to 22x19

My bad
Got a new 210 Shizuku I think this would look great on. Just hoping it's not too long. Original handle is 127 mm.

It's all good Drew, I'm sure there's more where that came from.
That handle should work fine with you're Shizuku, should look great too!

Thanks for everyone who had the trust in my work, gave me words of encouragement and helped me learn this cool craft. I will be taking a break and will be back after Thanksgiving, most likely with a dedicated section with the other merchants.
