Dave, nice work as usual!

BTW, I'm very proud that my Martell 300mm suji is your current avatar. Did you like that one as much as I love it?

I would loved to have seen this knife in person. Some pictures make the red look brighter than others, but I'm wondering if it's actually darker like it shows in a couple of those pictures. BTW, what is mycarta?

Easily arranged. I'm just a bit north of you.

Here we have Dan's 210mm Hiromoto AS gyuto that's been thinned & etched. Came out kind of crazy, eh? Talk about dripping cladding.

The scales are blue dyed redwood scored from our own BurlSource. The wood has a beautiful green/blue with metallic glitter look to it that's going to wow Dan over for sure, especially since my pictures failed to capture even the color accurately.

The pins are copper/nickel silver mosaics and the liners are black G10.

I still have to sharpen it yet but it'll ship out on Monday morning for sure. I hope you enjoy it Dan.

thats beautiful! can't wait for the Santoku!

 

[Andrew H]

Wow, that one came out extremely well. Someone was lucky in the cladding department.

 

[Burl Source]

Wow!
That sure did turn out nice!

 

[ThEoRy]

Holy carp that **** looks magical!!

 

[TDj]

i think this might be my favorite-looking hiromoto ever! the cladding is beautiful, and the handle has the just-right mix of bling and subtlety. awesome.

 

[Dave Martell]

Thanks guys, I like this one a lot myself.

Hey Mark, the wood worked really nice, the shine seen isn't CA glue or epoxy either - it's from the stabilization you use.

 

[stopbarking]

Wow. I've been staring at these pictures from my phone all day. It looks incredible and I can't wait to get my hands on it!

Thanks Dave!

Here is my review for the thinning and sharpening job Dave performed on the 300mm suji above.





Surgical.
It's like a laser scalpel.


Here is my review for the re handle work done by Dave.

Flawless.
You can't do a better job.


Combine the reviews and what I now own is a beautiful, flawless laser scalpel.

Thanks Dave,

Rick

Wow Dave, it came out like I hoped for. I can't wait to see it in the flesh.

It came out pretty nice but I can't wait to get you your gyuto - then you'll be smiling.

Here is Lauri's 240mm Hiromoto AS Gyuto with black maple scales (from Burl Source) with white G10 liners, nickel silver pins & one mosaic center pin. The blade was thinned & etched.

 

[kalaeb]

Very nice Dave! The contrast with the white spacers is well done.

 

[99Limited]

That was my original choice. I have four of those blocks sitting in a drawer because I couldn't make up my mind and ended up going with something else. Anyway I'm glad to see it does look as good as I thought it would.

While all your work looks great, this one really hits it out of the park! Beautiful work!

Lauri's Hiro is absolutely sexy. Nothing short of.
