Hey guys so wanted to let you all know i will be receiving this beauty later this week and i am really excited to try it out. Lefty wrote a review on this guy a while back and i knew i had to try out his work. They are special makers in that they use all recycled materials, both makers there are extremely skilled. Luke his whom i talked with however, he was great to deal with, was willing to use any materials i wanted, however i let him choose. He explained his process and how long it would take. We exchanged emails a few times and he was always on top of it. He wrote me and email with the knife completed actually a few days earlier, most of us know with custom makers it can take a great deal longer so this was quite a surprise for me. He does have a 4 month wait time however he is right on schedule which in my book is a top quality.
Will definitely let you know how this knife performs.
Bloodroot blades is definitely one to check out!
Funyaki type profile-
48mm deep at heel, 205 (8") mm tip to heel. Balance a few mm forward of the maker's mark. Convexed on the right and full flat on the left, sharpened 80/20, heavy and stiff spine but thin behind the edge. HRC 63, sawblade steel. The pieces of wood are absolutely fantastic. Both pieces are our spalted maple burl, but the front piece is dyed black
