Thanks, Mike -
At this rate, elephants will be extinct soon too, hence I won't touch it, pre-ban, included.
Good man Marko!
Ran into some issued with this construction that required some changes in the process. Had to stop work and only resumed it (almost a week after) once those were corrected. As a result, a couple of handles are offered as seconds. The cocobolo is actually a first quality, but I think the look with a spacer grew on me substantially, so all my handles will feature that from now on.

PS: Knives in the pictures are practice while handles are seconds (technically only redwood is)
How big are the handles? Or can you give us the length of the knives so we can figure out what they might fit. That gyuto that the cocobolo handle is on looks quite large. I would be very interested in the redwood handle if it would make an ideal fit the the 180mm shige Mukimono I just bought.
+1Beautiful handles, Marko. I have to say that I like the one without the spacer a bit better, though.
I'd like to see a photo of a knife with an old school octagonal handle, ironwood and horn, with nickel-silver spacer, for reference . .
