Wow, great stuff! I love the combo of the techy steel, cf, and ti with the wood. The bolster shape really fits with the sleak/modern overall aaesthetic. IMO this some of your best work to date.
I just sold my 3 SS pettys... what do you think of the s35vn? How would you compare it to s30v? I always thought the s30v had amazing attainable sharpness, but was bit lacking in fine edge retention and toughness.
I have dabbled with similar. This one really lends itself to pinch gripping, the bolster faces are slanted back, and tapered, so fairly thin side to side.
