The order for my client is completed and I love the result! He chose teak burl to get the copper accents of the blade in the pink that this wood can have combined with yellow for the brass accents. The ring is made of carbon fiber surrounded by nickel. I hope you will like it Fred! Gonna upload some pictures later 
And here are the photos before handing the knife to the customer.
Finish two handle today! One is for a small petty with wrought iron cladding and the other one is for the one who bought Matt's first water quenched honyaki. I let the oil cure and I will rehandle everything tomorrow 
This is a first for me today: I have never made a handle for a petty knife before! The proportions are really the most "difficult" part so that everything is pleasant in the hand and visually. I think the result is great and in the hand it's really comfortable.
I chose stabilized curly redwood with a micarta separator and an Indonesian rosewood ferrule, octogonal shape.
This knife is the creation of a blacksmith from Quebec and the steel used is 26c3 with wrought iron. Truly remarkable work by Ludvig Germain! I redid the geometry to thin the main bevel and finished it all with my jnat. So happy with the result!

And another lovely handle for the person who bought the first mizu honyaki from @MSicardCutlery this week! I like that handle a lot but the hamon on this gyuto is really awesome...
Another completed handle for a client. This time with Cocobolo, African blackwood, synthetic opal and two brass spacers for a 240mm gyuto. It shines and it doesn't go unnoticed!
A custom handle completed for a customer with stabilized myrtle burl and carbon fiber with gold leaf cap. I love that kind of simplicity. This is by far my personal favourite type of handle to make, without ring or spacers.
This is the handle which will be installed on the next honyaki blade from me and Matt. If someone asks me what my favorite style of handle is, it’s definitely this type. This Indonesian rosewood has raspberry hues and I think the match with the copper is really beautiful.
Working on a new honyaki blade to polish and before scratching everything I did the handle first. Sometimes I think I'm brilliant 
The client gave me creative freedom so I went with my favorite style of handle with my little mirror touch. Ebony and brass cap. The only thing to do is to oil the handle...and polish the blade obviously

A new project is done for this custom nakiri from @MSicardCutlery! The handle is stabilized curly redwood and an ebony ferrule with a rokkaku hanmaru shape. More and more of you are taking advantage of the 10% discount I give you when you order a knife from Matt. It’s really appreciated and thank you all for your wonderful support
From Matt to Matt with a great handle from Julien in between. Thank you both!
