That is some top notch leather work! Well done. Beautiful knife too of course.Just about to finish up this "lesta-less" 9oz hot waxed backsewn. Sheathing the knife is such a pleasure without the wooden insert to hinder it's acceptance. Been working on a new treatment for the mottled look, really happy with the way it's coming along.

Got another one of the San Mai's done! Modified it to fit the jigged bone I had! Experimenting with different finishes! Three more to go!View attachment 1646146View attachment 1646147View attachment 1646148
Beautiful, but who really made it? Your hands are too clean...It was a while since I made a chef knife, but got this blade finished now. It's the first part of a 3 piece set.
