Zdp-189?

It's almost done! Looks like a long pull on the main, and I can't believe how low he got the blades to sit when closed

Beautifully done Chip, first off, I didn't even know Ohta made 3 blades in a whittler at all..and second.. ZDP 189 Can't wait to see your photos of this piece. I'm going to have to place an order with him for sure now.

tip with zdp 189: you can sharpen it like hell but it also chips easily. with a thin-bladed slip joint, suggest a 20 degree per side sharpening or even convexing. i still wouldn't risk it when whittling hard wood or bamboo.

Any idea of when this comes in? I can't wait to see a review on this knife. One of the coolest projects I've seen here for sure.

It actually got here a couple days ago, but its been so cloudy I haven't been able to get any decent pics. I'll see what I can do tomorrow, I'll post up pics one way or another. I will say that I love it, and it's a wicked thin slicer
