It really does look like mango, doesn't it?
Ya man, it reminds me of the Suji you did awhile ago

Both are great but this is one instance where I prefer the less expensive handle. Darker handle is more my style.
I like the darker one to, but if these get darker with age(do they) i think the lighter one would age better. I do like some contrast in my handle materials, keeps me visually stimulated.
I like the darker one better also. Darker koa usually comes from an older tree or from a tree that grew at a higher altitude. Most likely also from the Big Island of Hawaii, koa from Maui or Oahu is often more on the lighter side. But, lf course, there are exceptions...
Only just saw the green one - does that glow in the dark? :wink:
That fujiwara. The subtle details take it from high tier to god tier. I have one rehandled by adam marr and I thought that was epic but the spacers and little mosaic pin. Its like a hidden tang westren hattorichop, really epic.
Is you re-handle list re-opened yet?
Nope, but, if you have a rehandle coupon then it's always open. You just have to wait forever..... QUOTE]

sometime next fall I want to get a damascus martell. I read somewhere long ago in a time long since forgotten there was a collaborative knife so awesome no one dares speak it's name. :viking: :knife: irate1: :knight: Probably ground like a takeda, you've fixed enough of them :wink:
I remember that knife. Group buy?
Well there is a planned Martell set to be done in DT's bubble wrap and I even heard that mokume might get used too. :spiteful:
I'm withholding judgement till I see it in person....I haven't seen it in so long I'm not sure it's real...lol....I'm sure it'll be worth the wait....thanks for suffering through yet another project of mine....I always have the most jacked up knives to fix...lol...ryan
Yeah...finish up Ryan's stuff so I can send you a bunch of crap!
Somehow, you always manage to draw the best qualities out of the materials. I think it looks great.
