The malachite was composite from Jantz. Ironwood (on sale cheap!) from Mark. Mike brought the knife back to life.

Mike, Great to see some of your work. Thanks for sharing.

Looks good! (But I'm a fan of anything ironwood...)

2nd attempt at a wa handle. Not too excited about how it turned out, but it does feel better than the one it came with. I think I am going to stick to western handles for a while, at least until my attempts at wa handles start looking acceptable.

CCK 1303 with Bloodwood and Marble wood.

That doesn't look to bad. Maybe just a hair fat, but I'm not a clever guy.

I disagree. I think you are very clever.

Thank you for the kind words Crothcipt. I was shooting for a much larger than normal handle for this. I think larger handles work better on cleavers, but that may just be me.

Here is a petty to match the gyuto I made him. 1095 steel 59-60hrc bloodwood and bocote.
