Off Topic Name Change

[T.Saslow]

I've seen others in the past make posts informing those who cruise this sub-forum that they changed their name, so I thought I would do the Same. My name is Tanner Saslow, hence the name T. Saslow. I used to be called xXBackyardCrafterXx because 14-year old me thought it sounded awesome. No idea what he was thinking. I hope to be posting on here a little more frequently than I have in the past, though admittedly that shouldn't be too difficult.

I guess I'll throw a dog a bone and put some knife-related photos in here. These are some recently completed knives, all of which are from .110" Nitro-V at 61 RC and 63RC (the kitchen knife). All handle materials are from Ben Greenberg.

*The last knife had some dust on the blade*

Thanks Greenberg Woods and Jonathans ! Ben, I enjoy using the woods you provide- They are solid, well priced, and just beautiful! You have a great business going, I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates that.

Nice knives.
It looks like the Wa handle is a tad too thick, but it isn't way to fat.

Thanks for the feedback, Stacy. That is what I have been told by some fellow knifemakers I have shown it to in person. I have taken note of that and will work on improving. I'm currently working on a kitchen knife for a friends wedding and I thinned the front of the Wa handle down considerably. I agree, it's much more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.
