WTB Magnolia handle for 150 petty

[andur]

I'm making a 150mm size range petty knife and I'm looking for a handle. Preferably ho wood and horn ferrule, octagonal. Maybe an old yanagiba handle that came off clean?
Open to offers, handles are really hard to find these days!

Are you in the states? @childermass is sending me a few handles. I don’t know when they’ll get here (might take a while) but I’m happy to forward one to you when it arrives. I’d use them eventually, but it’s good to spread the love.

Glad you mentioned this @ian , I was thinking about something like that as well. If @andur is somewhere else than the us there is still the possibility to make two packages and ship one of the handles directly to him as I didn’t get around to ship yet and was planning to do it tomorrow or on Monday.

To be specific I'm not looking for a custom but the regular stock handles our knives come with.
What handles were you thinking childermass? I'm in the EU.
Thanks!

They're stock ho/buffalo horn. @childermass, I'm fine if you want to send him the octo handle.

Sounds great! How much? If its one handle it won't end up in customs too.
There is a gyuto which took me months to make. Now it needs a sidekick petty to go with it but I can't make a proper handle the way I like it.

Alright Ian, it’s your call, let’s do it that way. That’s really nice of you.
@andur I will PM you for details.
