I'm beyond happy with the outcome of my first Wa style (octagonal hidden tang) handle!

This one is Blackwood with a Silver Twill spacer. There is a hidden dowel for dowel through construction... nice and strong! The tang is drilled, sawed and burned in.

Look out for more of these... with knives attached! :D I really like the look, feel and light weight.







 
Are they two separate pieces or one? Can't even tell if there's gabs or not!:thumbup:

3! :D Seamless construction! he cool part was that before glue-up the entire handle and knife fit together with no movement... I could have made it a take-down if I wanted!

Thanks Rolf!


More pics soon... the Kamisori inspired blade only needs the final sharpening.
 
By the way... one of my most requested designs is my tall Petty (large parer/line knife/small Chef's). How about a run of them with Wa handles in AEBL steel? This is something I have been considering for a while.
 
Level up!

Oh, if you do a group buy on pettys I'd prefer 52100 over AEBL. That stuff stays charp, mang!

Thanks guys for the kind words and input!

I'm putting together a second one today and should have this one ready very soon. It's coming together nicely! :D
 
Very nice looking handle...can't wait for a blade attached to it :D I'd be down for one!
