    The left side core steel at the heel on that one was very exposed before I started so it was destined to look that way from the start.

    Here's a 270mm Hiromoto AS Gyuto that's been thinned, etched, & has a new custom redwood handle installed.

    Happy to hear that the last full tang redwood rehandle went "smooth". :D

    If you really hate yourself, make a display box with redwood as the main structure... and try to get the lid to attach and line up with the sides of the box after you sanded the scratches out. Don't ask me why I did it, yell at me for doing something I knew in the back of my mind was gonna end up as a cluster f*** with hinges. :(
