New knives

[Illyria]

The first knife that I’ve made for myself, haha.

Deep etch 1.2562 core with wrought iron and pure nickel Damascus cladding and an integral yo handle.

The wood is a piece of wood that I got while I was cooking in Singapore. I went to eat at Burnt Ends on my day off and the head chef gave me a piece of the wood that they use for their live-fire cooking. Over a year of letting it dry and acclimate to desert humidity, I finally got to use it - for this petty, as well as for a matching titanium offset spatula.

Finished the final polish on the kiridashis and spatulas.

The kiris are super chonky and polish nicely - nashiji finish is also super comfortable.

Have them on my Etsy for now, and then will be posting remaining ones on bst later.

 

[aaoueee]

Picked up an offset spatula in desert ironwood -- pumped

 

[dragjp]

Love the spatula from last drop, so I had to get another for my left hand

 

[parbaked]

Grabbed a stubby one in mun ebony…stoked!

 

[Illyria]

Thanks to everyone who grabbed a kiri or spatula so far!

I had a couple of blems that weren’t listed on my Etsy yet, which I finished polishing last night.

Just made a BST post with the pair of discounted slight blemish kiris, as well as some of my favorite titanium offsets of the batch available in BST.

This batch of wrought has a ton of figure to it, forged out to size specifically for extra thick and larger ones - this one being over 190mm long. Polished on some jnats from ATT.

I have been needing edge guards for my personal knives after giving all of my old Shihan ones away to friends as gifts, and he stopped making them a while back..

Soooooo…

Will be working on a batch of various sizes and list them on my Etsy soon. What sizes would people like to see?

You'll probably sell the most of 210-225ish, then 240, 180, and then everything else.

If the cost is in labor, I'd vote for a pile of 300mm, and people can trim them to spec. If cost is in materials, what Mike said. I'm in the 240+ crowd personally.

 

[NickMinton]

Can you elaborate on how you made these? I’m not trying to steal any business, just curious

in! 210-255 most popular

 

[dragjp]

If you don't mind please make a few 300+ ones, I'll take them!
Bought quite some regular sized guards from Shihan back in the days, and still benefiting from that call.

Absolutely in for a couple 300+ ones lol

 

[NotAddictedYet]

240+, more versatile that way.

 

[parbaked]

I'm in for a few in 180; 210; 240!
Years ago I bought a Yoshikane from you that came with a walnut edge guard and handle made by Sheehan.
Sold that knife but made sure to keep the edge guard!
