ASYMMETRICAL 04
Wrought iron clad 80CRV2 / stainless / G10
Another of the new experimental ‘faceted’ handles in red and black . Fully asymmetrical with a 180 grit satin finish. I have internationally left all the sanding lines in to give a bit more texture and interest to the handle look
The balance is very slightly back weighted for the length of blade (almost perfect but about 1/4” back from where I would like it to be) as the G10 is so dense - going to work out a system of getting weight down but the same volume
More experiments in the works but liking this new approach - very un-knifemakery (?) but like where it’s going.

EXPERIMENT-AL 03
Forged 80CRV2 / brass / G10 / stainless steel
More exploration into faceted asymmetrical handles - this time for an 11” slicer - which has turned out nice
Quite tricky to get the balance right while still making it asymmetrical… and I didn’t expect there to be so much white !
Learning how to stack the colours to get the best results is interesting
More investing needed but liking the direction these are going in
Happy to find a home for this if anyone is interested (ping me a message).
