27 cm D2 Wa-sujihiki

[Pensacola Tiger]

Just wanted to let everyone see Pierre's latest work. A 27 cm wa-sujihiki in D2.

Handle of G10, mammoth tooth and some of Craig Stevens' spalted Marcian Masur birch burl.

Specs and review to follow when I get it in my hands.

All I see is a giant pile of garbage.



....right underneath that Canadian dream suji!

Nice pull! That is a serious looker, and I would LOVE to hear how it does with a toothy sharpening job on some crusty barbeque.

This is just getting silly...
You're making works of art seem too easy Pierre!
Mammoth tooth anyone?

Cool-looking knife! I normally don't like so many layers in the handle. That one's quite nice!

Nice, good score Rick!

Yowza, Rick, with this and the joke prize, you are on a roll!
That knife is just sooooo sick. You had better do some serious cooking with that puppy!

Awww...I have to say, I was hoping he went with the gargantuan carbide one.

Really nice! Congratulations!

I also am eager to hear how it does on a crusty Brisket.

Sounds like some nice slicer specs. Looking forward to the review!
