Hey err-body. I could use a little constructive criticism. This is the 6th knife I've made and it's my 2nd file knife.
I made this one for my cousin. He's a chef and wanted a custom butcher's knife. This dude is balanced, heavy, and sharp.
12" Nicholson file, 2 brass pins, 1 handmade mosaic pin (my first attempt), walnut and devils bone* with brass, and vine spine work.
1. In the second picture, the walnut is separated with devils bone* and brass. What is that called? Putting a separate piece of material in scales....An Inlay?
2. May I have a little constructive criticism? It will only make me a better knife maker. Thank you in advance.
* I'm calling the black wood "devils bone" because I have no idea what it really is.
