Yes, please do!I don't have many western handled knives that need a rehandle left... just the yo-deba. Maybe it's time to buy a Hiromoto gyuto?
Theory, do you mind PM'ing me the following
-Where you get your spacer material?
-What Epoxy you are using?
-What type of belt grinder are you using?
-Are you laying sandpaper on your diamond plate?
Thanks and awesome video, I will definitely be using your techniques on my knife project.

How do you put the finishing o nhte wood? It's gotta be above 320 grit right?
I used 1200 grit wet/dry on a handle from Stefan and i had to break out sub micron polishing paste and after that a felt wheel on a dremel to get even close to his finish...
Usually, I only sandup to 1200 grit, only very few woods benefit from going higher if I later use compounds for buffing them anyway. I apply a mix of tung oil and shellac, the number of layers depends on the wood and my mood, rubbing them down with steel wool between layers. The stabilized wood doesn't need the finish, but I find the oil lets the wood colors pop out a bit more. Buffing with white and pink compounds, then by hand with a cotton cloth.
