Large gyuto handle. Desert ironwood with velvet tamarind ferrule and end cap and blue bakelite spacers. I used powdered turquoise to fill the cracks in the velvet tamarind and for the Honu inlay on the end cap. This was my first attempt at inlaying my logo on the end cap, later ones came out better.
Measurements:
Height @end cap 28mm
@front of ferrule 26mm
Width @end cap 24.5mm
@front spacer 22mm
@front of ferrule 17mm
Length 144mm
Be well,
