Aslink, I just love the way you finished that antler scaled knife. Part smooth and part texured. It compliments the nature of antler.

Maelstorm, sweet looking Honesuki, how does it slice?
 
Some really nice looking work guys! Here's a special order I just finished up. Some of you may remember me asking about fitting a handle to someone with giant hands; this is the result. Overall length of this knife is 9-1/4". Scales are stabilized Redwood lace.

It's a tad tall in the heel for a Japanese boning knife IMHO but you have done an excellent job on it with fit & finish.

Keep them rolling in!:thumbup:

I did a FFG with convex edge and it slices and chops very well thanks!

Thanks! I couldn't stop myself from making it tall enough to chop wihout hitting my knuckles. We'll call it a Japanese cutlery inspired knife then :)

When you are only cooking for one or two at a time a knife of that size works great as a kinda pointy Santoku type knife.

Women in particular LOVE knives of about that size, for most every job in the kitchen. Especially the ones with petite hands and wrists.
 
Stayed up all night and then skipped breakfast....

Lovely blades; it takes a lot of effort to get them to this degree of finish. The pin location in the harpoon blade handle, tends to through the line off a bit. They are beauties, especially the big clip.

Thanks Fred!

*whisper voice* "yeah I saw that pin location.... I am trying not to think about it.... bothers me.... won't ever happen again...." :foot:

Brian,

I thought to myself and should have added that I figured you were aware of the pin placement. You can't do this level of work and not be conscience of every aspect of what you have built.
Regards, Fred

Sweet!!

On the yellow handled knife, did you use a small wheel to get the groove in the top of the handle?

Great work!
 
Made this as a christmas present for my father. Knife is 440C and handle is kirinite. This is the first full size knife I have made from scratch
