Hi Gents
Just finished this custom Santoku which has a blade from 3mm 80Cr V2 steel. The surface of the blade has a forced mustard patina, blade length is 165mm, blade width at the heel is 45mm and it's overall length is 295mm. There is one nickel silver spacer in front of the acrylic bolster which has been cast around S/S foil. I've had three blocks of this kicking around for ages which I bought from the lads at Emberleaf, but never really had an idea what I was going to put it on, until this order came in that is. The handle is made from my first batch of home made hybrid wood, it's stabilised oak burr cast in Alumilite resin dyed white with micro pearl and copper tints, it's held in place with one of my own mosaic pins.
I hope you like her, thank you for taking the time to look. All comments and critique gratefully received.
