Here are some of the pettys finished.
one of the petty blades with a custom handle
Great looking handles Del! What are the wood choices? Are you making handles just for your knives or can I buy a handle separately? If these are for sale separately can you do custom woods? Last but not least, what are the sizes of your handles?

Del,
I hope it is OK to post a pic of the blade I got from you at the ECG. I was getting impatient working on a wood handle so I went in another direction, perhaps temporarily. I don't have a good pic of the handle yet, but I am calling it the "Home Depot" special. Amazing what you can do with 2 bucks worth of copper pipe...I think Aldo will appreciate it.

I gave it a quick and dirty sharpening with a 9 micron belt and .25 micron diamond strop and it cuts like a laser. I am able to cut carrot slices 20 thousandths thick (yes... I miked it). Thanks so much for the great blade. I am having fun with it. -Doug
Dave, it's not just the ferrule that's made of copper pipe...
