Gift for a friend

Good friend from college requested that I get her a knife as a wedding present. I thought it'd be nice to make a handle for it. It turned out well imo, but given more time, I would've tapered the height some more.

Nice looking blade. I'm keeping an eye out for a 240mm to pop up, nashiji or migaki.

Same here. I gave this 180 mm a test run and it's an amazing cutter.

Very nicely done handle.

It's very reminiscent of the handle on a Tansu that is one of my favourite knives.

Beautiful job! I'm sure that will be one of the more well used gifts!
