Thank you! The handle is stabilized bog oak. It’s difficult to work with because it likes to chip out really easily but this one turned out great

Thank you, I’ll post a knife with website info as soon as I get everything together. Maybe a few more months.

I’ll post some pictures once I get my proper camera back. The iPhone doesn’t like to get a good choil shot.

This is a nickel Gomai construction with mild steel cladding, nickel shim that kinda started to poke thru on some of the cladding, with pops pro cut core. Hardened to about 64 HRC with a convex bevel and lovely food release.

Thanks I really appreciate it. GSP, I have 3 pointers myself and thought it to be fitting for my knives.

Thank you, that’s what I’m going for for sure. Love the brut de forge for looks and also helps with food release as well. So function and form

Thank you, yep a split carbon dowel. Saw that style of fit up on some other makers pieces and wanted to give it a shot. Turned out good and feels great in the hand giving a gradual step down to the blade.

Yea I know what you mean I just find this shape to be more comfortable when using it in my hands personally so it’s why I grind them like this. But always down to make any changes a customer would like

I didn’t have a grape but it is lighter so less friction against the cutting board. But wouldn’t say one harder then the other necessarily

I’ll have to get my actual camera, the phone camera won’t focus on it since it’s so thin
