I had one more half an onion left. So I did one more to demonstrate how useful the vertical method is for finely mincing (brunoise).
Started working on my next project today. My first knife starting from annealed steel. I'm using 1095 that is .14" / 3.5mm thick. The blade profile will be similar to Watanabe or Masashi. Tall, 270mm santoku basically. With a Sabatier style Western handle. Brass bolsters.

did you finish this one?

Beats the hell out of trying to do it with the Crystolon and my steel files
My wife has got a new job. We are moving to Northern Virginia in December. We will be able to afford a house where I can have a real workshop. But I am still going to miss my little spare bedroom setup. Cluttered, but everything in arm's reach. We have to get the room painted and cleaned up so I started packing today. I took a few photos for memories' sake.

My straight razor collection has got a little out of hand. I tell my wife it's all about perspective. I still only have one brush and one mug and some guys really go crazy.
