Just so you all know he has rented out some personal knife security too. So don't be getting any ideas:spiteful::razz:

Matt, what are the little blue one's with the cool looking blue handle. Maker's mark has what looks like an animal on?

I've got the perfect person in mind for one of those... me.

I love it that you've got so much love for your Tojiro Suji. I've got a DP Honesuki that's about 12 years old, that I feel the same way about. It's a lot smaller now. I think it's just right. We've been through a lot together. I'd like to have a new Honesuki, like one of those new Fowlers, but I just can't see spending the money when I've got my lil' Tojiro. Ol' Faithful.
Anybody else have Tojiro love? Or maybe something like it?

Very unique handle! How do you like it?

 

[Eamon Burke]

GOT to love his handles. How's the grind?

What is the steel? It looks like it is getting a patina, I have only seen his stainless damascus in kitchen knives.

Great looking knife.

Are the horizontal scratches from you or David?

 

[mattrud]

Still using the knife to get more final thoughts. But it is very well made. The grind is very good. Has a shallow convex grind.
Steel is 0-1 damascus.

The handle is a stunner. Very different design then anything I have used. David basically just carved it by hand. It doesn't just look good it is also extremely functional. It is a little large for my hand.

 

[Crothcipt]

Wow I am still amazed by David's work.

I think about the Tilman that I got to try out on the pass a round, I miss it all the time now. Sweet knife will fit well in a sweet expense you have.

I just noticed the handle on your Tilman is the same as mine though mine is smaller

 

[Crothcipt]

wow that handle looks sweeeeeeet! I see no meeting lines, is that all 1 piece? Such great work no matter.
