Work in Progess

Ironwood is such a simple class act. You just can't go wrong. Spectacular handles once again Marko!

Thanks for being patient, all you guys who have been waiting for custom work. Starting another batch of old orders today.

Hows your knives coming?

Knowing that it's almost done makes the waiting so much harder.

I had a setback. A ferrule on one of the handles (it happened to be the nicest one) cracked, and I have been trying to figure out as to why. There could be two possible reasons - tension in the horn due to a nipple being a hair too thick or a drop in moisture content that might have made horn dry and crack. I was leaning toward the former, but wanted to be dead sure that it is not the latter, before I mount the handles and send the knives out. So I kept handles in my apartment, where humidity is lower than in my workshop (I run dehumidifier most of the time there). I am pretty convinced it's the tension, so will mount the handles and have the knives ready to ship by Saturday.

Two more old orders are completed

Awesome M,

Makes me second guess whether I should have gotten ironwood instead...

BTW who is the maker of the suji.

[Marko Tsourkan]

Yoshikane. Thanks, Bao.
Going to make a batch of sayas next, so finally get to clear your orders.

Very nice, the handles really make the knife.
