Ben you've really been doing some great work lately!
If God wanted me to be a vegetarian he wouldn't have made animals taste so good.

Re: 2018 Handles
You just keep upping your game Ben. I better get a handle or two from you soon before I can't afford your work!

Moritaka Honesuki, African Blackwood ferrule/endcap, Maple spacers, and a walnut body. This is my favorite combination for a KU blade.

Kanehiro nakiri with new shoes, or a whole new outfit. The handle is made from desert ironwood burl/ebony/mahogany, what a way to dress up a quality blade.

Re: 2018 Handles
This was interesting and quite successful. I had one of my prototype one piece handles made from two tone rosewood that I really liked. Empty handle with a custom bunka from @willisonknives. Lastly I played with beeswax installs, not my typical, but super easy. I also played with thinning and polishing the blade. What do you think?

Stabilized spalted maple burl ferrule with a figured Mango body. Note: this handle was purchased to be installed by the purchaser on a blade he already owned. He did a great job.

Masakage Koishi Sujihiki 270mm Leopardwood/buckeye/nast, complete with a copper cast to fill a natural crack in the wood. Not bad...
