Martell Sujihiki - For Sale

FOR SALE


I started making this suji a long time ago, can't even remember when, getting sidetracked for some other project. I always wanted to see how the wood/horn combo was going to come out so I decided last week that I'd finally finish it. The koa is presentation grade and has a great amount of chatoyance with a rich brown color. I used black buffalo for the spacer along with a single black pin.

I took these pictures in all sorts of varyious (outside) lighting conditions trying to capture the koa's features/colors. What I have to show here is a decent enough representation but I assure you that it's movement (which can't be seen in pictures) will please much better in person. Seriously though, it really depends on the actual lighting conditions you have as to what you'll see and you can expect to always see something different in this handle.

The blade is ground to be as stiff as possible while still being very thin with a slight convexity.

I make my sujihiki profile to be used both on and off the board.

Damn Dave... if i hadn't just pulled the pin on a similar purchase i woukd be all over this.

Your handle and that wood just work perfectly.

 

Thanks gents!

 

Very nice, Dave, looks beautiful as usual!

 

Thanks Warren

 

Whew, thank goodness I already have one.

I looked for "THE" suji for along time (almost 3 years) never found one I loved...until I got my Martell. Search over.

 

Your suji is one of favorites, I think it's the handle.

You also managed to get the best looking patina I've ever seen on an O1 blade.

Thanks for the kind words Matt.
