Very nice! Did you make the mokume? I want to try some soon.
I wish, like you I would like to try some, but have not had the required inertia to attempt it.
Not to take this too off track, I just built a 2 brick forge to try my own HT. Mokugame is also on the try list. Raindrop pattern anyone?

Wow Kalaeb that really is something to look at. It is the type of knife that just makes you want to pick it up and use it.

About 5 years ago Mark Farley gave me this ugly piece of unstabilized wood and said I had to wait two years to use it. It was really dull and frankly not very enticing to mess with. I got bored and decided to finally cut into it and wow...guess I learned my lesson.

Austrailian Horistess with musk ox and copper ferrule (puppy clearly thinking it looks a lot like a beef stick, tried to crop it in imgur but apparently cant figure it out.)

Nice doggie! No need to crop him/her out.

Oh, very nice handle too.

Dinner prep. So glad that with the D handle removed -- and this glorious new handle installed -- I can put this knife into my regular rotation.

I took the plunge and got a few new handles recently. Sadly usps screwed up and sent them back once so one knife got tipped slightly in the 4 part 12,000 round trip mile trip from Sacramento to North Carolina back to sac, back to NC and finally back to sac again.
These are from Jobone and a fine job he did. I dont remember what they are made of...
I guess I should add the top one is a Toyama 210 and the bottom Anyru B#2 210. In my humble opinion you cant go wrong with either of these!

Harukaze 210mm G3 with stabilized snakeskin sycamore handle and ivory Micarta spacer. The wa handle it came with is actually pretty nice, but a touch small for my tastes.
