  1. Thank you for the link. Good read. The search box is usually a disaster for most message forums. Google is your friend.
  2. All good feedback. This is exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you. This isn't a chef knife. It's supposed to be a butcher's knife. Mainly used for quartering large pieces of meat/critters. The safety concerns about bacteria getting in nook's and crannies is a fabulous point xxxxxxxx didn't even think about that. The picture doesn't show it very well, but I did epoxy around the spine work. It didn't look complete with the gaps. Again, thank you for the feedback.
  3. 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.
