Ok, here I am. My membership expired on other forum and I don't want to contaminate "shop talk" with my knives. But I want to show them anyways

Those took about 12 days to complete. All are D2 and 60 - 61 HRC, 3mm thick at ricasso. All are had rubbed to 1000 X. All have brass bolsters and croby rivets...

First one goes to a business man. He wants to make a gift to his son, name etched of him. It is 9", black box elder handle with white box elder stripe..
Japanese paper and card board custom box. All my boxes are custom made by my girl friend.

Here is a 10" version, goes to a lady in a farm, will be used to chop pumpkins an other hard fruits. Stabilized amboyna burl handle. Blue japanese paper and balsa box from my gf...

This is for an artist gentleman. His paintings are very colorful and he likes green (I hope) his kitchen is mostly green .
9" D2 knife, stab. green maple burl, patchwork custom box...

BTW: sorry for the poor pics as my light box was out of order..

Nice presentation - it reminds me of tsutsumi.

Where do you aim the balance point on your knives?

Thanks friends...
The balance is right at the finger groove. That way it feels weightless ..
