[Lycosa]

Stop!
lmk when you are going to post your knives, Josh!

 

[Steel130]

Excellent work Josh. Do you plan to do anymore with a V grind?

 

[AusLoX]

Is that Ray skin under the wrap?

 

[Josh Mason]

Hey Steel. I do V grinds on occasion. A lot of my knives as of late have featured them. Trying new things like hand sanding, and I wanna break out of some things.

Hey Aus, it's not rayskin, it's a very textured and grippy rubberized material that I found on accident. I think the texture is quite attractive, and the stuff is just tough as nails. Grippy as hell too. It's expensive stuff too, might as well be ray skin lol. Almost like a shark skin texture.

 

[Lycosa]

I like that Rubberskin!
Got one in Red, Josh?

 

[Josh Mason]

I have 3 more that I am working on, and i don't see why some red cord couldn't go on one for you Rolf lol. You're the best, buddy

 

[Lycosa]

Danks! yer not so bad yourself.
When I get the Green, you go Red.
Thanks mano.

[AusLoX]

Ya the wrap looks really cool. Nice work!

 

[Lycosa]

Josh- How would this knife look with a smaller blade?

 

[Josh Mason]

Hey Rolf, somehow all of my stuff ends up oversized. My pattern for this one is smaller than the actual piece lol. I planned on making some smaller ones actually.

 

[Lycosa]

ok! Like a 4" blade?
I like a 4" handle, also... sir.

 

[Lycosa]

Update... I ordered one of these knives. I had no choice.
You guys get your order in before Josh realizes his prices are too low.

[MrDrewBear]

^^I was going to ask Josh about a shorter one, maybe soon.

 

[Josh Mason]

I'm gonna get some smaller ones ground out this week guys. Keep an eye out.

These two are still here guys. Thanks!

 

[Josh Mason]

Let's get these moving guys. Asking $150 apiece. Thanks!

 

[Lycosa]

Goodgawd! Get these, you knuts!!
Josh- I emailed you.

 

[Josh Mason]

About all I can do on these guys. Thanks.

 

[Lycosa]

Josh- These knives knives are very similar to the traditional hira-zukuri style of Japanese knives, the most common type for short blades.
I also like your tapered handle and how you do not use a ricasso. Nice details, buddy.
These knives need to be grabbed!
