Lots of Hiromotos recently… I don't normally care for dyed woods but that turquoise looks pretty good!

 

[MontezumaBoy]

Spectacular work Dave! You seem to out do yourself each and every time with these re-handles and spa treatments!

 

[Dave Martell]

You guys are too kind, thanks.

 

[buckeye]

Awesome Dave. The Hiromoto's are very intriguing with the etching.

You have taken common Japanese kitchen knives and turned them into works of art, too nice to use!

Well I hope that you do use them at least a little.

Thanks for all the work Bill

Redefining quality Dave!

Here's a Kagayaki Gekido R2 Damascus 175mm Santoku with a new handle constructed of dyed box elder burl.


*Please excuse the poor picture quality. There was just too much cloud cover.

Here's a Kohetsu AS gyuto with a new handle made from Arizona Ironwood Burl...

You must have magic fairies collecting burl stock for you or something dave. These are awesome. I love that blue burl.

Who has the balls to ask you to rehandle a kohetsu lol.

handles looks nice regardless. I wonder if there's ever been a request to do an Artifex lol

That Gekido Santoku is just simply stunning. Recently I developed a soft spot for dyed woods and this handle is killing it!

 

[ChefJimbo]

Dave: Camallia oil works great on the blades. What should be uses on your re-handles after some kitchen work to keep them in tip top condition?

Dave,

I'm trying to get to your store to scope out getting a few of my knives rehandled and get the below. Is it me or are you by chance having web problems?

Lack of business had me close the store down.

My older handles had nothing on them besides wax so that's what works best for them. If the handles have been in the last year or so then they're likely finished with some type of oil (linseed, tung, or a combination of other similar types). For the ones finished with oil there's nothing to do but trying not to scrub the finish away. If you want added protection some wood (not car) wax would be fine.

Ugg. Sorry if I hit a sore spot mate...:O

I'll PM you this weekend.

 

[buckeye]

Thanks Dave for the info on the handle care. Still admiring your recent work on the Hiro's!

Am I actually on the list for this? I made some noise about it earlier this year, but I actually just ordered a Dragon, so if I'm not, please definitively put me on! And I'll have to start shopping for scales at BurlSource.

I just put you on the list Mike, thanks!

Sweet, and thanks for the heads up on the wood Q&A. Just as well, because he gets more/ better blocks than scales. What's the timeframe looking like, roughly?

 

[Dave Martell]

I'm hesitant to even guess Mike.
