Stefan's Handle Gallery

[Dave Martell]

Just arrived today. Great work as always by Stefan, and the installation of these handles by Dave is flawless. Thanks so much guys! Hate that I will probably end up selling a few of these, but that will just be an excuse to do some more projects down the road.

Anthony

I'm glad that you like them Anthony. Thanks for the work!

Happy to hear you like them, Anthony. I think my personal facorites are the kauri handle and the little petty.

Just finished up with these two for Norm. The deba is Hawaiian pheasant wood with a black ash burl ferrule, the gyuto has suji wood handle (the national tree of Japan) with a horn ferrule.

Got my knives from Dave yesterday and had a chance to give them a really good look today. Dave's installation is flawless. What can I say Stefan? Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks a million.

Thanks Norm, glad you like them. I really like that sugi, I'll have to make a few more of that. BTW, didn't you have 3 handles?

Yes I did. I was going to use the 3rd for a forgecraft that I did some work on (pics in the show your work section) but when I saw the handle in person I didn't really feel like the knife was worthy of it. Dave is putting it on my Watanabe 240 gyuto. Can't wait to see her.

Thanks Norm. Was that the cascara handle? I forgot who had that, and I am looking forward to seeing that on a knife, I really love the wood... Oh, and thanks for thinking it worthy of a Watanabe knife

Stefan

Yup. That's the one. I didn't picture it on the Watanabe but when I put the handle up to the knife the choice was easy. I think it's gonna look awesome.

Here is Norm's 3rd Stefan handle all mounted up on his Watanabe gyuto....

Ohhhh man. That looks good. Thanks Dave and Stefan!!!
