Mike's Knives

[mhenry]

Just a few to get started 280mm Takeda, and the Carter brothers 283mm gyuto, 230mm funy

 

[chazmtb]

Beautiful knives and handles, especially the Carter Funy.

 

[mhenry]

A few of my other Takeda's

270mm Gyuto
215mm Suji
210mm Bunka
250mm Kiritsuke Gyuto

 

[Eamon Burke]

That 270 gyuto has a groan-worthy handle.

 

[apicius9]

Great stuff. For me, the two Carters come in head to head...

Stefan

 

[JohnnyChance]

Very nice. What is the main wood on the bigger Carter?

[chazmtb]

[Redfisher]

Thats not a knife...
THIS is a knife!

 

[mhenry]

Some of you guys are going to beat me up for saying this, but this 270mm Moritaka is at the moment my favorite knife, It feels perfect in hand, cuts like a motha, and stays sharp almost too long, I never get to re-sharpen it

 

[GLE1952]

Great knives and handles Mike!
Is your Moritaka the standard Blue or the Supreme series?
Thanks for sharing,
Glen

 

[mhenry]

Thanks Glen, its the supreme series

 

[tk59]

supreme series? i can't believe i missed that one. nice stash, mike!

 

[mhenry]

supreme series? i can't believe i missed that one. nice stash, mike!

Thanks, supreme series= Aogami Super

 

[tk59]

supreme series= Aogami Super

Haha. Thanks, my bad.

 

[Justin0505]

All of the custom handle work is really nice. Who made what?

 

[Andrew H]

I believe Mike made all of them except for the Stefan handle on the 120mm petty, and the Harner.

Correct. Thanks!

 

[mhenry]

Thought I would another. 165mm Hakata

 

[mhenry]

Another I just finished rehandling 270mm Konosuke Fujiyama. I love me some Ironwood BTW

 

[mhenry]

My homemade hone rod

 

[mhenry]

Another Takeda (can you have too many?) a 255mm Sasanoha. If you have been thinking of buying a Takeda and are turned off by the blade height this is the knife, only 47mm tall at the heel.

 

[Bryan G.]

A 283 and a 270 Takeda? You are a mad man. That 283 looks like a machete or is it just the angle. Looks really tall. How do you like the Kono Fujiyama? I really love the HD and the Fujiyama 240s are priced really well ... I keep telling myself it will fill my 500$+ Carter wanting for a bit longer.

Your Carter's by the way DON'T help this, thanks ... I don't know who is more nuts, you for owning it ... or Butch for making it. Holy Jesus. I do bow down to your "mighty" ness.

Kind Regards

Bryan

PS ... the Bunko handle, yo that's pretty gnarly

 

[Burl Source]

I am curious.
With all these knives looking so good, how are they displayed at home.
I would think a dedicated knife area, kind of like a kitchen knife shrine.

Beautiful knives.

Impressive collection Mike, and beautiful handle work.

 

[bcrano]

Really great work mike. Inspiring me to make my own handles.

 

[mhenry]

Go for it! If I can do it anyone can

Really great work mike. Inspiring me to make my own handles.
