Damn, love the handle
Bull market present to myself. Custom chefs knife.
Could not be more pleased with the way this came out.

Handle is a mix of cast resin, dyed Maple burl, G10 & reconstituted gemstone.
He spent hours sitting and sanding it by hand.
“Some shit just cannot be done right via machine.”
“The burl section is harder than the resin, the g10 is harder than both and the gemstone is harder than all of the rest combined.
Gotta shape that shit by hand, otherwise the machine grinds away the softer parts at a ridiculously fast rate while the harder parts stick out proud.”
