That's called hoarding Sam. NO you dont get to own all Merts knives. Just saying [emoji1]
Haha I can try
Its coming Mert!
Mert, I would love to see a picture of the whole table from the SKS:knife:
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!

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