     In the last 20 years, I have gotten some Japanese/Asian inspired designs from working chef's, and feel it is time I put a page together showing those designs. I do not work with forged Japanese style blue steel, but with high carbon tool steel. It is the kind that is used in the blue steel ‘sandwich’ in some classic Japanese style food knives. It is used in the middle for the cutting edge.  Please specify when you order, if you want an Asian style handle or a western style handle. Default handles are Asian with all Asian designs.
 All knives have 5-1/4" long handles. Brass is 3/4" wide x 3/8" thick.

  Above : Top photo: 4 piece Korean style large kitchen knife that was custom made as a Xmas gift . Length is 8 inch and width is 3 inch. These are 1/16th thick, which is my standard thickness. I can also work with 3/32" inch, for an additional cost. These also come with singles bolsters, and the
 cost quoted is for singles bolsters. If you want to see this style of kitchen knife in action, see the fantastic Korean TV series called "Dae Jang Geum".

Above the Myrtle is steel sheet , 1/2" stabilized Redwood burl insert, white and black spacers and then the brass bolster. Handle has brass 1/8" rivets as well as a company chop in the butt. The chop is a 1/4" tube filled with red dyed epoxy and brass rods and tubes.  While the wood insert will vary from piece to piece, one can order this style of handle.  Other wood inserts I use are Ebony and various dyed stabilized woods.

I use this handle in Asian knives, or if you ask me for it.
