I like that two tone Amboyna; it has the different color ferrule built right in to the handle!
 
That handle is too cool, knife aint bad either

Mark, since you said the Tasmanian blackwood came from you, here's the Burke. Sorry for the poor quality of the photo--it's a tricky one to photograph. (The wood and patina look much better in person.)

I like the angular look. What does the rest of the knife look like?
 
I like it.
The angular handle and blade look great together.
 
Thanks! It's 228 mm blade and the bolster is thin enough to be comfortable.
 
WOW! Spike that is cool. Love the shape of that blade
 
It was made by David Broadwell.
A bit more conservative carving than some of his others.
But I think it looks great.
 
New knife from Del. Del suggested that since the piece of desert ironwood was so special, that I should consider using the wood for 100% of the handle. I took his suggestion and I'm glad I did as this piece of wood is spectacular!!! The picture does not do the knife or the handle justice!!!!

52100 ******** Ultimatum with Burl Source amboyna burl. Wa handles are a PITA.
 
Thanks guys. I saw a natural end on somebody's nakiri here, and have been keeping my eyes open for similar pieces. Maybe I just need a LOT more practice! I'm hoping Marko makes a DVD soon, 'cause watching someone with his talent and attention to detail is the only way I'm going to learn!

Hmmm. I find Western style handles easier than Wa handles! But I also have a custom belt sander for the finger grooves and stuff :)
 
I have a Grizzly 2x72 I traded some pots for, and an excellent Wayne Coe disk grinder with a vfd. I love wa handles, but my friends around here don't get it, so I'll stick with westerns for now.
 
I have the grizzly, too!! And 2 1x30's and a 6x48 :)
 
I think a 6x48 would come in real handy, along with a magnet for surface grinding. No more tools for me for a while though.
