There's some really crazy skilled work in this handle, the maker is obviously very talented.
 
Merry Christmas to me.
It's been years since I bought a knife.
First knife I've ever purchased for home use.
From Mario, 4.5 inch petty, Devin Thomas high carbon ladder damascus, mango and blackwood handle.

Some crazy work on that handle. I would just love to hold it. How does it feel to you?

It's nice and pretty comfortable, but I'm not totally in love with it. It doesn't effortlessly melt into my hand, nor does it simply vanish. Nothing to actually complain about; I'm just more of a fan of simple handle shapes.
 
Congrats Salty! Love Mario's work and this petty is certainly no exception.

I'm hoping that we get to see a video of it in action if you get around to it!

I'm retired from video making. Just not as much fun when you're sober.

Got a couple new Takamura knives… they're on the right… with the rest of the Takamura family
HSPS Pro x3
Uchigumo rehandled by Dave Martell x3
R2 Migaki (red handle)
VG10 Nashiji (black handle, almost more like a tsuchime finish)
Chromax Tsuchime (brown handle, I "think" I remember readng that chromax is stainless clad A2 steel, but feel free to correct me)
The latter two are lesser known (very similar style/construction to the red handle series but with different blades); the red handle series is regarded as an amazing value laser, the HSPS Pro as a slightly more robust and refined version of the former, and the coveted Uchigumo as the holy grail of Takamura knives… I also like the wa handled Hana, but since I had Uchigumo, sort of created a fusion of the two
 
Sukenari w#1 honyaki 270mm gyuto
Delosso handle , Black m3 titanium ferrule, african blackwood, silver nickel spacer
263mm edge
53+mm on heel

Been doing a big shuffle of the Watanabe part of the collection for the past 3 months. I'm still waiting on a couple so I'll post them when they arrive. This batch excludes customs which I'll post separately. Some show some use or sharpening as they've been arriving since late September.

Love to accommodate you there brother but when Dave does my handles he always gets first dibs on spares. Hope you aren’t looking to replace the handle on that 255 ;).
 
nope i have zero intention of doing anything to the 255, it's a masterpiece! i like to have a spare stock handle in case i get something in the future that has an aftermarket one and i want to revert to an oem
