How do you like that handle, Rick? Heavy?
Click to expand...

The knife weighs in right at 250 grams, so it is no lightweight, but it doesn't feel like a heavy knife. The balance point is about an inch ahead of the ferrule. The handle looks as if it might be unwieldy, but it isn't. I place it on par with the Western handle I have from Mert.

I was gonna ask how the handle was. Sorta looks like a cross between Mert's and a Rader.
 
A Catcheside with western handle, very nice Rick.

Will's description:
Length blade - 220mm
height - 48mm
Thickness entering handle - 5.3mm
Thickness spine over heel - 4.3mm
Thickness spine 10mm from tip 1.2mm
All forged taper and geometry, the forging is slightly asymmetrical right hand bias, release is slightly more to the right, works so very nicely ground and hand /stone finished compound bevel.
1.2442 core knocking on the door of 66 hrc.....Cuts like a delicate beast, zero flex and falls through everything with a very nice sensation of RH biased release.

Kick ass suji there. Makes me so jelly. Good thing mine is coming from Robin at the end of the month.
 
The initial handle was a burnt chestnut with a plastic ferule.
To be honest I expected the balance point to move more. 171g vs 159g.

The main thing is it looks so much better

Love that yoshikane. Aside from just loving yoshi works across the board and the 2 that I own I rarely see other pieces I don't like.

Details on the cleaver? how did you come by it? I've never seen a bone cleaver from them around. What's the steel? Super cool [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Was a couple of months for me as well. Maybe 6-7. Fit and finish is outstanding. Didn't have time to really cut with it, aside from some Virgin paper.

Knife is a looker for sure, love it. Very happy that Ian kept digging to find the Type of Ironwood I liked!

White #2, handle by Dan (ironwood), from Max like BS said. He had a few with a KU finish, think this was the only he had that was Kasumi. It's awesome.
 
Im almost totally desensitized to seeing shigs in this thread at this point lol
 
Here's a better quality pic if the Dan Prendergast k-tip.

It was KU... somewere in the middle of the handle making I slipped really bad with a rasp and had to strip the KU. :pirate1:
 
This looks awesome, J. Congratulations. How do you like the handle? PM if me if you could for your finding.
