A couple of notes...

The handles on these knives are slightly thicker than I've made in the past on my hidden tang knives. I hear the comments/requests and I've been working towards making more full bodied handles. What I've been able to come up with is subtle in looks but big in comfort. The middle of the handle is done with a swell which allows for the filling of the hand without pushing the hand forward into the blade like a taper (alone) does, plus the hook (beak?) relief allows for proper wrap around still. I feel this new design is very comfortable and should fair well in even the toughest pro environment where many hours of use are going to occur.

On the O1 knife, the blue handled one, note that the buffalo horn is not all black. There's a lighter shaded (gray-ish) section up on top aligned with the spine that adds some nice content to the handle. It shows (sorta) in some of the pictures. The blue color is real nice, has that outer space kind of feel to it.

On the CPM154 knife, the brown handled one, the dye contrast shown between like and dark patterns is really something else. I see what looks like maple type stripes (bands?) in the solid brown sections up near the ferrule, just interesting is all. I've handled a lot of box elder burl and this is one of the more dramatic pieces I've seen.

 

Beautiful knives, Dave!
Especially the brown dyed box elder, that has to be one of the best looking handles I've seen:cool1

 

Why thanks Warren

 

Three really sweet gyutos available within the span of a week! They're pretty awesome, unfortunately I'm also pretty broke now.

Your handles are really distinctive and stand out. Hope to add a Martell knife to my collection in the future! :cool1

 

Thanks mb, I appreciate it.

 

Beautiful work. Very clean lines. Is the horn stabilized as well?

 

Thanks

No the horn isn't stabilized. So far this has only been an issue when it's paired up with metal spacers because the horn moves (and shrinks) which exposes the sharp edges of the metal spacer. When I use G10 or wood against the horn I have zero issues. As for cracking I haven't seen this being a problem for Japanese knives that use buffalo horn so I'm hopeful this will work the same as theirs aren't stabilized either.

 

Outstanding results Dave! LOVE them.

 

Thanks Jim

 

If funds were available I would grab the CPM154 with that beautiful handle, sadly not an option right now!

 

I understand. Thanks for the kind words and thoughts though!
