210mm Damascus wa-gyuto , handle is octagonal brown mallee burl and copper spacer

240mm wa gyuto forged from 52100 , handle is octagonal ebony and nickel spacer

 

[Bill13]

On the 210 have you cut the one piece of burl, added the spacer and then re attached with the grain lined back up? Crazy nice Damascus pattern!

Yes Bill , I have used the same burl for the ferrule and handle it self , it was a very nice piece

Love that mallee. Is it from thremallee root? They are a pain to chop, so I'm guessing not much fun to sand?

What steel is the blade?

The ebony 52100 looks great but I love the uniqueness of the mallee. The honyaki looks fantastic.

Do you cryo quench the honyakis?

It is from the mallee root , it sands off very nicely although creates a bit of dust . Blade is 1084/15n20

Busy guy! Lovely looking work as usual! :doublethumbsup:

You aussies have some awesome woods out there for handles too. Do you stabilize the burls yourself, buy stabilized, or they hard and oily enough to use without stabilization?

I love that the mallee handles are quite different from each other. I guess you could say they are individual. I guess it's so difficult to chop because of the multi-directional grain. Probably what gives it the individual and beautiful patterns.

Do you cryo these (roughly eutectoid) steels?

I haven't used cryo at the time , gotten the set up not too long ago .
Mallee is definitely very unique, I can't stop buying it [emoji38]

I was going to say "cool" but it sounded too much like a bad pun. I'm interested to know how the cryo goes.

I hope the bushfires up that way are not too close.

Thanks PHIL , sadly the bushfire is too close to some of my staffs homes, some were among the volunteers helping to get it under control
