    Stats

    Model - Sujihiki

    Blade Length - 300mm

    Steel - O1 (carbon tool steel)

    Hardness - Rc 60-61 (with cryo)

    Height (at heel) - 44-45mm (ish)

    Handle Style - Wa Octagonal



    The handle is a straight grained AZ Ironwood (lots of gold metallic flash) paired with streaked blond buffalo horn, a copper & G10 spacers. This one will look rich and will turn, over time, to a patina'd appearance along with the blade. [​IMG]




    *Note -This knife is not finished but it is 20% of the way there. If you're interested, and wish to buy it now, I'll discount the price by $90.

    If you'd prefer to wait and see what she looks like before purchasing that's OK fine by me too, just shoot me a PM and I'll put your name down for first refusal, and so on. Just please understand that should someone else wish to purchase the knife in the meantime (before it's finished) I will sell it without consulting you. I'm trying to be as fair as possible, hope you can understand.




    Price - $790

    Buy It Now Price - $700

    (shipping included to USA / International will pay all costs over $25)



    If you're interested in purchasing this knife please contact via PM or email along with your Paypal email address (for the invoice). If international, please specify country.

    Thanks for looking!

    Dave

    I want to make it clear that when this knife is complete the "buy it now" price will disappear.

    Here's the completed handle for this knife. It's straight grained AZ Ironwood with streaked blond buffalo horn.

    I have a new oil/varnish sealant that I'm mixing for oily woods that I used on this handle and I suspect that it should weather better than usual.

    The handle shows a nice sheen in person that wasn't picked up by the camera on this overcast day.
