Awesome grind, GLWS

That looks like one from Hatsukokoro and they do not disclose the sharpener. I believe the sharpener may change, but at one time it was a well respected sharpener who had officially retired.

Looks great! I nicked the heel on one of mine, so I now use a felt lined blade guard instead of tape to protect the blade.

I recently received a nice shipment of Tetsujin Ukiba and Nakagawa ginsan gyutos. Remember there is a 10% discount for KKF using code SugiKKF Tetsujin sharpened by Myojin Sugi Cutlery - Tetsujin Nakagawa sharpened by Morihiro’s Sugi Cutlery Nakagawa My handle selection is low, feel free to...

Great knife, I use mine daily. I also have the 180mm but find the 165 to be more useful.

Epoxy will come off with acetone. Take your time with the handle, it may take a couple tries to get it right. I only use gflex, but it’s pricey unless you are doing multiple handles. Other epoxies may work just as well.

Nice combo

Use Gflex and rough up the g10 like this.

Nice handle, looks like Zebrawood, sure it’s Ziricote? This is Ziricote with a zebrawood ferrule Zebrawood has nice variations

These two handles have cosmetic flaws. Price $25 include CONUS shipping 1) Honduran rosewood and buffalo horn - horn flaw is cosmetic, I doubt it will be an issue. Turn it to the bottom of the knife and you have a very comfortable high quality rosewood, 2) Cherry and katalox - Cosmetic flaw...

Let’s clear all of these out. I’m almost embarrassed to show these 2. In both cases the metal spacer shifted and I sanded into the cut out hole. They will take more work, but could be a fun project for someone learning how to make handles. Price $25 - covers shipping to CONUS 1) stabilized...

I am cleaning out my office and found these 3 faulty handles that I made years ago. They are not good enough to sell as new, but I think they will be a good set for someone who wants a project. Price is $25 for all which covers CONUS shipping and the time it takes to write this up. 1)...

Nice!

The popularity of ho wood has always fascinated me. Why is it used over other woods? I hear light weight, stays grippy when wet…. While both are true, I wonder if the reasons are more practical like: easy to source, not imported, cheap and easy to burn the tang in. If hickory was fast...
