I don’t need to say anything about this very special one. Handle wood is African Blackwood from burlsource. Oh boy, how I miss burlsource!
Yeah, that’s how I feel… I had posted a pic yesterday already:OMFG
Not usually into western handles but my word, that tapered tang and sculpted handle has curves in all the right places. Ooh la la.257 / 57 / 280g of @KAMON Knives - @martinhuber collab madness:

Thank you. I couldn't agree more, although I like all of them.Of the ones in this colab, This is the one I would have chosen. Sweet work, great score
i..i..i.....dont know what you mean...Thank you. I couldn't agree more, although I like all of them.
But this one was "our" common idea, @KAMON Knives, myself, and, uhm, yeah, Martin, too (I chose this order of priority on purpose): I wanted this hammer finish, I wanted this silver blade finish, I supplied this particular block of African Blackwood from burlsource (have I mentioned that I really miss burlsource?), and I chose silver (!) pins for my build. This is where @martinhuber chimes in and ruins the whole thing by taking golden pins although we had everything fixed in written.
In all honesty, yes, he took the wrong pins - but I am SO UNBELIEVABLY HAPPY that he took the golden pins because seeing it with my own eyes, everything is just perfect, and the silver ones would not have been half as good... Thank you, Martin! I really mean it and I owe you!
How many siblings does Mr Goldpin have and where do they live?i..i..i.....dont know what you mean...

Nice Job on the polishing. What was your progress?New to me Xerxes Primus 2. Had some pretty heavy patina, so I BKFed it. Saw some banding so couldn’t resist doing a bit of polishing Probably won’t take it farther since using it will erase my efforts. Pretty tough to photograph it

Started with BKF, then 2k->3k->4k diamond paste. Then cycles of etch and polish. I think what ended up being the best was hot dilute (1:1) apple cider vinegar with soap, followed by rubbing with dry stone powder. I tried also stone powder with lemon juice as a polish step, which didn’t bring out the hamon but did good for banding. I also tried diamond paste which brought out the hamon but erased the banding.Nice Job on the polishing. What was your progress?
Im sick and tired of Togashi so it’s just fitting! I need the otherKagekiyo B1 Dama now!Ayy all the cool kids getting kagekiyo dama these days. Only a few more days till I can actually use mine...lol

The one in the back is the Jones. The other two are the Sticks and Boards (?) I bought from Knifewear. The Jones one has more slots but they're a bit too close to each other so it's hard to use them all. Because of that, I prefer the Sticks and Boards one, although the Jones one is a bit nicer looking.Great looking knife! Do you have any info on your knife blocks? Really liking those!
