Western to Wa Coversion - Misono Dragon Suji
Here's a conversion of a Misono Swedish Steel Western Sujihiki to a Wa handle.
The handle and bolster have been ground off, the tang re-shaped to be hidden, the blade re-surfaced to blend in the missing bolster section (BTW - not so easy on a dragon etched knife), and a Stefan Keller handle installed.
First up is the old busted version....

Now we have the new hotness....

Beautiful and tasteful (the thing already has a dragon on it - I'm glad to see restraint on the handle). It must have been a LOT of work (and cost a pretty penny), but it's worth it for the rarity!

Looks brand new. The owner should be pretty pleased with this.

I love the handle. If I were ever to get a custom I'd want something like that, something that has a resemblance to a traditional ho handle but is actually much fancier

Thanks for the compliments guys.

That knife looks 1000 times better. Great job on that one. That's one of the best Yo to Wa conversations I've seen.
