Nine new handles ready for construction....yes, I can count....8 bins, but one has 2 handles. If you see your name, you are on deck.



Thanks for looking.

Very colorful Carter. Can't wait to see the finished work.

What's the block on the front left? Walnut? Ironwood?

Yup, that’s spalted jatoba. Not my knife, but I did buy that block for my cousin’s birthday.

Here is a 230mm gyuto made of 52100 carbon steel. It is hardened to 62HRC and has a pretty thin blade and a nice distal taper. The handle is dyed and stabilized Oregon maple burl with a ferrule and endcap of buffalo horn with nickel-silver accents. It is available for $275.







Thanks for looking.

Beautiful work and a great deal at that price to boot! Wow

Hmm, I love 230's, 52100 and green. Plus, been wanting to try one of your knives. Seems like a win all around.

I dig the profile as it looks like there’s a nice little flat spot near the tip. That’s a pretty fantastic price!
