Gallery of Stefan's knife handles

What wood is that? Bubinga?

 

Looks wonderful and the fact that you are up and working is as well!

 

Glad to see you going again, Dave. That looks like a nice combo, thanks for posting it! The wood is rosewood burl from Belize, I really like that wood. Artificial tortoise spacer and koa ferrule. Came out a bit more tone-in-tone than I anticipated, but I always liked this handle because the unstabilized burl still has a bit more of a wood feel to it IMHO.

Some Carter upgrading....

 

Dave, is that my Nakiri?

 

You tell me. LOL

 

I need to get a lens that can take good shots of full blades with handles... I love my 135 2.0L to pieces but it's tough to get the full blade into the shot at home and school frowns on bringing knives in...

 

Noah's Masakage gyuto - 240mm....

 

Here's Brian's brand new Zakuri with a brand new Stefan handle installed....

 

Here's a shiny 177mm (7") Carter gyuto with it's new Stefan D-shaped handle in amboyna.....

 

Stefan's back in action with an ironwood handle mounted to a Shigefusa yanagiba.

(Please excuse the dust...stuff is blowing all around outside today)

 

Some kinda sexy right there, sir!!! :cool1

 

Nice, glad to see him back at it.

 

Hey Dave, isn't that my Nakiri with a Wild Almond burl handle? Still love that thing and remain thankful to you and Stefan for making it happen.

 

It must be, I don't recall doing another like this. I thank you right back!
