Stefan's Handle Gallery

[Erilyn75]

Hello Shiggy. I love it! Now if we could get a Yoda one...........

[Dave Martell]

Shigefusa nakiri with (something different from Stefan) a modified D-Shaped handle....

[mkriggen]

Very nice, what's the wood Stefan?

A handle I was not 100% happy with, because by the time I was done, it was a little smaller than I set out to make it. But the owner and Dave think it is fine, so here it is. These tangs on the shigefusas are ridiculously huge. Wood is polyanna / wild almond burl, mammoth ivory spacer and blackwood ferrule.

sorry for hijacking

These tangs on the shigefusas are ridiculously huge.

Painfully huge. Tang on any Shig guyto has enough metal for a small petty. Damn, even on 150mm Shig petty tang has enough metal for another small petty.
Why do they do it like this? For weight balance?

[Dave Martell]

I may heat and pound down (thin) the next Shigefusa tang I have to do. They are stupid huge.

[Dave Martell]

Here's a really nice higher end handle from Stefan...

[steelcity]

I like that.

This last handle haunted me in my sleep for some time... I hope the new owner will like it. Thanks for the assembly and the pictures, Dave!

Argh! So many nice combos! I've been trying to decide on handles a long time and it just keeps changing, getting close though....
