Hiromoto Aogami Super (AS) Steel Gallery - Full Spa Treatment

You had quite a few people buy doubles I take it? Very nice.

 

Its been a while but I don't recall the stock handles being that nice- I suspect that you are giving then some love Dave?

 

A few folks bought a couple. His & hers....maybe?

 

I have a few stock handles that are a bit rough so I've been giving them the once over just to smooth the sharp edges. I wish that I could resand and re-finish them too but that's not in the cards.

 

damn, hallmark dropped the ball on that card

 

James I have a preview of your knife.

Spoiler

A killer slingshot!

 

Here is Erica's 240mm Hiromoto. It's been thinned & etched and everything rounded smooth. The handle configuration has been converted from full to hidden tang, AZ Ironwood installed, along with copper-black G10-copper spacers, and a copper mosaic pin.

The handle was shaped differently than I usually do because someone (ahem - Jim) has been after me to do a rounded rear end and once tested I really liked it and wanted to do it to this knife since I could tell the look would work. Beyond looks this rounded rear feels very good in the hand and unless people have an objection to it I'm going to continue doing this moving forward from here. Please let me know what you think - be honest!

The ironwood that Erica sourced is superb! I really love the look it gives off. The wood is finished to a satin luster, it's hand finished and simply oiled. IMO ironwood doesn't want to be shiny like a mirror so I don't force the issue.

Erica, I hope you get lots of joy and years of use from this one.

 

The Whisperer does it again, I LOVE it!!! Can't wait to see it in person.

 

:cool1

 

Dave if you accidentally mixed mine and thar one up i would be so happy it would balance out how mad Erica would be... so it would be okay.... you know, if it happened
