This set was made for a client living in Oregon. We spent time understanding
what I could and could not do, and what exactly the client wanted. I then spent time creating it.
As part of the creative process, I often stopped and picked up the camera. Below is a visual tour through
this creative process.

Above: this handle has a number of inserts. From the bottom:
Myrtle Wood, brass, stabilized black dyed Red Wood, white/black
1/8th" spacers and lastly the brass bolster. Brass bolster is 3/4" wide.
I can make this sort of handle for your knife, just ask. I also use other hardwoods
such as ebony, and reconstituted stones. Send me an e-mail for an enquiry, if interested.
