What are the specs on the knife? Length of blade and handle etc.etc. Have you ever thought of putting a turks head knot on the handle? Awesome looking blade and one of my favorite steels. keepem sharp
 
Oh sorry about that.... The knife is 8 inches overall, the blade is right at 4 inches.

I really don't like the look of the turks head too much.

I'm glad that you like it. A2 has been real good to me so far.
 
I have a similar one from Josh and the wrap is outstanding. VERY grippy and if you are holding it tight enough to use it whatever your intended purpose a turks isn't necessary IMHO..your hand isn't gonna move a bit. Just my 2 cents. Very well made and super sharp too.
 
Thanks! I'm really glad you're enjoying it! That's what I was thinking too about the Japanese handle. The west system makes everything hard as a brick, and those diamonds are so grippy its crazy.

That grey one you got should be a cutter with that high flat grind. I loved that knife.

Thanks again guys!
 
Another beauty Josh!! I'm still admiring the one I purchased from you several weeks back........;).

I see your back to the dark signature, at least on this offering. Going that way again or mixing it up a bit......?

Keep up the excellent work. Your attention to detail and skill level are far above your actual knifemaker's experience. Can't imagine what you'll be offering with a decade or so of experience.

Hey Ken, thanks man. I really appreciate your kind words. I had some bare blades with that mark on them, the last of the A2 batch that I had. Still experimenting with my machine:p

That little guy should be a good cutter. I remember the edge on it was pretty scary...lol. Glad you're enjoying it!
