And now for your viewing pleasure, a Ikeda honyaki 240 gyuto with Honduras rosewood burl/maple spacers/bog oak. Now this knife looks as good as it cuts!

Fancy pants spalted maple with Blackwood and maple accents on a Tojiro nakiri. Wow.

Re: 2018 Handles
I was charged with making the FUGLIEST handle. I laminated scraps from various handles together, and lined some of the scraps with aluminum foil. How did I do?

Re: 2018 Handles
Thank you! There was some talk in one of the Instagram posts, I think it was the @Ben_makes account about getting some handlemakers to try an ugly handle contest.
I am motivated to make some chaos blocks based on off cut scraps.

Re: 2018 Handles
This Tsourkan petty came in with lefty D handle. The owner thought the maker was so backlogged that a new handle would take too long. I switched this out for a tapered octagonal handle made from stabilized Redwood burl and ebony. I was told the knife looked stunning and felt natural in the hand.

Re: 2018 Handles
Not sure if anyone else has this problem, but on my mobile Android phone, the only pics I can see in this thread are from June 6 and June 8. I can see them when I get to a desktop computer though. You don't have to change anything on my account, just wanted to give you a heads up. Cheers!

Re: 2018 Handles
I am sorry about that. I know it has to do with my posting Instagram links vs 3rd party hosting and separate uploads. There are reasons why I keep doing it this way.Drewski wrote: ↑Thu Nov 22, 2018 10:52 pm Not sure if anyone else has this problem, but on my mobile Android phone, the only pics I can see in this thread are from June 6 and June 8.

Stunning! This black and white ebony handle with maple and leopardwood spacers matches the Shiraki honyaki Yanagiba.

Re: 2018 Handles
I am stunned at how well this spalted stabilized aspen turned out. The figure/color/grain are just perfect. The Moritaka santoku isn’t bad either. The aspen was complimented by bog oak and maple.
