Here's a shot of mine.

Beautiful! Is that Hitachi steel or W2?
Thanks bud! I love it too and it's pretty easy to work. I got a couple blocks from Ben Greenberg. They are thick enough that I can cut them into 3 scales. I use 2 for a chefs knife and one will do one of my bird & trout knives. I like Blackwood, cocobolo and ironwood but they clog belts and take forever to shape. I did a small skinner this morning in cocobolo with orange liners and it took 2 belts to get it rough profiled. I've done a couple chefs and a bird & trout with the same belts. It's worth the money for sure.I love curly maple. It's one of my favourite woods.
Very nice knife. :thumbup:
Nice work timos! That knife just looks like it'd be fun to use.Got a my first w2 blade finished, 180mm blade about 34mm wide. 3mm thick with full distal taper. Handle is Ironwood, copper, black g10 with buckeye burl and a carbon fiber pin. This was a fully custom build and is destined for primarily trimming proteins.

Managed to get a lot done this weekend. Finished this chef, fillet, and two drop points. I'll post pictures of the fillet as I think it's kitchen-ish.
Chef in AEB-L and ironwood with Westinghouse micarta liners.
