I'd love to hear any and all (good or bad) thoughts you guys/gals have on this handle.
I really like the little touches on the handle, like how the "burn" line at the apex of those two beves lines up with the spalting on the end cap. Talk about attention to detail 
Thanks Jacob
BTW, the story behind this handle is that I have a buttload of this natural maple that I bought on the cheap years ago and never had a cause to use it. It came in tomahawk haft sized blocks so I cut a couple of them down & sent 'em off to stabilization. But because they don't really show much figuring and the coloring is pale and boring I never used them. I got to thinking about how I was going to treat this wood when I made those tomahawks (LOL). I was planning on burning the wood and maybe even staining it...so....that's what happened here.
Here's some more info and pictures....
225mm Wa (Laser) Gyuto - Standard
A true point and go "laser" grind combined with a fast profile. Plus cryo treated O1 @ Rc60-61 is tough yet easy to sharpen, you have the best of everything here.
The wa octagonal handle is made from figured maple and paired with spalted sycamore on both ends. The maple has been "burnt" and stained to add some character, sort of a used look, that should go well with the carbon steel blade as it patinas over time.
The wood used in this handle has been stabilized AND sealed with a varnish/oil finish.
This knife is from our Standard line, where we're able to offer the same high quality knife as always, but at a less expensive price point.
*Please see close up pictures for details.

So is this handle too funky? I have to admit to loving it myself but then I made it so there's that...

I'll take it Dave. Always wanted to try one of your knives, even though not a "laser" fan in general. I like the handle very much by the way. Just paid through your website.
