Noice. Who got the other one?

@Corradobrit1
i will trade you a custom handle of your choosing (i know a guy) for that chestnut one!

Tempting offer, but I probably like chestnut as much as you. Its the perfect knife handle wood along with bog oak IMO.

Wait, that chestnut on @labor of love honyaki was perfect. If you @panda didn't scoop it up I'll gladly buy it.

Just got this last night. Knocked out a quick polish/ etch.
I'm not big on Damascus, but I'm a Huge fan of Michael Rader's work. This one is no exception.
Had to let go of some serious gems to cover this one, but in the end all is good.

Wow that it's beautiful

does that thing have wrought iron cladding? Looks like theres a little something going on in the cladding..

The description just said iron cladding. Haven't been able to find out much more than "they use some crazy process" to get the frosty suminagashi pattern. The pics don't do it justice. I'll post in the patina thread when I can.

 

[Caleb Cox]

My second HVB.

I didn't even think you could get HVB twice, and I could have sworn they could cure it now. I learn a lot here.

 

[Brian Weekley]

HVB? .... doesn’t that stand for “High Value Blade”!

Wakui nashiji 240. As Ashy suggested in a earlier thread. Nice beefy knife with stellar F&F. A real bang for your buck at $180. Only complaint is the stock tesshu handles from a-frames are HUGE. Nice but huge. Swapped it out ASAP for blonde and horn and bog oak.

Awesome! Wakui blades are so consistent and F&F + performance is tops for the $$. Hope you enjoy it!
