Up next we have a 270mm gyuto in CPM-154 with an amboyna burl, streaked blond buffalo, with copper spacer and mosaic pin handle....

This is also a very nice looking knife Dave.

Yeah, I'm getting quite sick of Dave posting these sweet handles. Starting to make me regret not making a deal with the devil to increase the size of my knife fund.

Just finished up this 160mm CPM-154 petty with premium koa and streaked blond buffalo horn handle.

FYI, this koa was the light colored block offered in the petty thread HERE.

*Sorry for the crappy pics, the sun was blazing and koa isn't cooperative ever in having it's picture taken.

ashy2classy · Jun 22, 2017

Sweet! Wish I had jumped on this after the first one didn't work out. Looks great!!

That was the light one?!? Wowser! I would never have guessed. As Chuck Berry sang:
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.
Just keep my seat warm in the old folks' home!

Nice work Dave. That block has come up looking beautiful. And the horn matches it beautifully.

I like for people to see the before and after whenever possible on the wood blocks since most folks have a hard time picturing what the wood will look like in the end, hopefully this helps someone.

Freshly finished up is this (1st of this size) 210mm gyuto made from CPM154 powdered stainless steel wearing an octagonal wa handle made from kingwood and streaked blond buffalo horn.

So sunny today, so much glare, crappy pictures as a result but I like the knife a lot....I hope the new owner does too.
