here's a couple others finished up


5" blade 1084 dagger, balanced exactly at the end of the bolster
Black dovetailed bolsters with a very pretty piece of walnut scales and a little mosaic pin to set it off




205mm O1 Petty/Suji chef's knife
40mm tall at the heel
2mm thick at the heel, tapering to 1mm thick 1" back from the tip
really nicely figured Amboyna octagon handle with a Curly Koa ferrule and Black spacer with red accents
weighs 125 grams and balances right at the heel




168mm O1 Petty chef's knife
34mm tall at the heel
2mm thick at the heel, tapering to 1mm thick 1" back from the tip
Maple Octagon handle with Cocobolo ferrule and Black and Red spacers
You can see where I offset the handle somewhat to allow for knuckle clearance on a board.

Saved by me from a para cord handle wrap!
Note Stephan HID my pins as I like them! THAT is custom work IMHO!
