Kono 240 rehandled

Konosuke HD 240 was the first Japanese gyuto that I bough. It feels like it was ages ago, yet in fact less then half a year have passed since. And it feels like ages my Konosuke was laying around without handle, cause I failed with rehandling several times. Now this is my third handle for this knife. Finally I'm pretty happy with how it went, so why not share some photos.

Same coffee beans as last time and beautiful wood from Mark Farley.






It was a sunny day and that ringed gidgee really shined. ♥

Nice job!

Beautiful handle

Looks great!

Very nice. I should know better but at first I thought that was Koa.

Beautiful work! Hope I can bring my work up to that standard.

That looks very good!

Thanks for the comments!

Well, your standards are already pretty high

Love your handles and the photos are excellent as well.

Love the handle. What materials did you use for this besides the ringed gidgee?
