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!
Here's some more information:
Its a 270mm 3/32" CPM D2 (powder metalurgy version, so finer grain size) at HRC 61-62 Handrubbed to 1000 grit
Rounded spine and choil, full distal taper, slight convex grind
G10 ferulle, white vulcanized fiber, stainless, mammoth spacers, birch burl handle, G10 end cap, with vulcanized fiber and stainless spacers. Mosaic pin.
Balance point at front of handle.

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.Originally Posted by Pensacola Tiger
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!
