What are the handles here Stuart? Lovely!

I knew someone would ask that, I have not got a clue what most of them are...

... wood?!

 

[Stuart Mitchell]

What I do know is, African Blackwood, Karelian Birch, unknown, Leadwood, unknown, Newtonia.

Haha brilliant! They are lovely whatever the are!

Very nice indeed. Are they a set? There seem to be very subtle differences between some of them?

Yes, a set for a local restaurant.

One day there will be 24 in total, initially starting with this dozen (hopefully) as I didn't have time to sort all the 24 before they open this week.

That will be some set. Are there differences? The point tip profile seems to vary v slightly and handle 4th from left and far right seem to be different widths?

I think the photo could be playing some tricks but absolutely yes, there will be subtle differences in all of them, in as much there are a dozen fully hand made knives.

Whilst dining you'll only get one anyway

You have some great eyes on you

I just measured those two knives, purely out of interest, I measured handle width at the front bolt and the rear..

Fourth from left is 14.2 and 19.6mm

Far right is 14.4 and 19.5mm

I can live with that

Don’t photos play tricks?!

Three Secare ready for grinding (with added blood), a Leadwood over orange G10 P90 and a chunk of Walnut.

The Secare and Walnut are for over the holidays projects, the P90 is getting posted tomorrow.
