Here's one I finished up today. The handle is burl, however if someone can identify it, I'd be appreciate it! I was thinking it's Afzelia, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is. Have a pretty good amount of it too! Let me know your thoughts!

Blade: Flat ground 3/16” O-1, hand sanded to 400 grit
Heat treated by Peters’ Heat Treat to RC 59-60
Handle: Mystery Burl
Pins: Stainless Steel Corby Bolts
OAL: 15 1/2”
Blade Length: 9”

Nice, Erik - love the mystery burl. How are you finishing your hardwoods?

This was part of a batch I just got back from WSSI (whole flat rate box packed to the gills) so I sanded to 600 then buffed with high gloss white on a soft 8" wheel.

Very nice. I notice you put your mark on at an angle.

Actually someone else pointed that out, but it's actually not. Angle of the grind mixed with the camera angle I guess. It does look off in the pic though. I even had to go look after that was stated

 

[Keith Montgomery]

Ah, now I see.
