Show us your new handle

[nakneker]

I recently made this one for my daughter. I was going to surprise her by putting it on her Masakage Kiri and sticking it the knife block at night. She busted me while the polish was drying and laid her claim. It was a joy and surprise for us both.

Spalted Maple body, Nickle-silver and turquoise spacer.

That’s beautiful and classy. Nicely done.

Very nice Joe!

This was a project knife from the day I received it as a second hand knife. I always planned to try my hand at making a single piece handle. Finally got the guts to give it a try and I’m happy with the results.

Ordered a Watanabe with no handle, bought a different handle earlier from Jobone, then saw this one of his, also. I always wanted a spalted tamarind handle, liking this combo.

Excellent job Garrick!

@slobound that handle looks awesome!!

[slobound]

Thanks guys! I honestly thought I was going to blow up this handle somehow. I did everything by hand so there was a lot of room for error. I did drill through the side on accident while drilling the tang slot but I filled it with Titebond. Luckily it’s on the bottom of the handle. Still happy with the outcome.

New handle maker (@Andreu571 on IG) joins my stable of customs, and I can’t say enough about the quality of his work. I love this handle so much that I’ve already commissioned a second one with him. This handle is spalted maple burl from Ben Greenberg (@greenberg_woods on IG), and the spacer is pearl acrylic, red G10 & copper.

That handle is beautiful, kinda looks like you may be a 49er fan. Andreu did a great job on my too, I liked it so much I got on his books for second also. I think we will be seeing more from him as time goes on.

Beautiful handle Steve, Andreu is doing some fantastic work!

[Andreu]

Thanks for all the kind words. I’m excited to do more work and hone my skills further. Special thanks to Steve, Sean, and Chef Duy for their never ending support and guidance.
