What's going on here this week?

Cool, I could use one of these clamp thingies... Well, I could use a grinder also. Nice nakiri, Dave, just a bit too rust-prone for people like me ;) Oh, and if I may say so - the handle sucks :D

I've got another much larger version of the guide that I use to grind in the tang shape. It fits over the entire blade - very handy tool for making crisp (and even) notches for the handle to fit up against.
 
The first nakiri is almost done, actually it should be done already, but I'm in the process of re-doing the handle because I don't think it's up to my standards. I really like the wood and how unique it is, I just have to get it finished the way I want.
 
Love a nice nakiri. What kind of wood are you using for the handle?
 
It's a blue dyed box elder burl. The blue looks like a dark green/blue - so unique.

Look forward to seeing the result. Don't think I've ever seen a piece of dyed box elder burl that didn't impress.....and that color sounds like a winner.
