    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.

    You tell me. LOL :D
     
  7. 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...

    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.
