I would break off the flakes and sandpaper back to where you have a firm weld. And then you have a story about how you made your own knife.
Beautiful Hopwood. How does it cut?
Surgical. Love how the tang disappears into the handle.Beautiful Hopwood. How does it cut?
That is an incredibly handsome knife. That handle really suits the blade.Here's the big boy okubo finished up with a half octo half oval handle in stabilized spalted maple, bog oak and amber horn. 260x59, 294g.

And I can’t wait for this one. @tostadas made my vision a reality and it looks awesome. I was originally looking for similar spalted beech, but difficult to find and expensive in a cross cut. He helped me locate spalted maple that had the same look and things evolved from there. I think it fits perfectly with the Okubo blade too.This was all the vision of @Rideon66

That is a 260x61 Christian Dam in my hand. The handle for the Okubo was set to the same size as this handle and Brandon had to cut a little off the back end to even out the balance point.How big are your f’n mitts
