“This was my first foray into high end knife making. It was pretty easy once I got going. I used Ipe scales (given to me from my brother in law). Rather than use the rivets, I used mosaic pins that I also bought from Woodcraft. They worked well, but if you need to expand the holes, be advised that the metal is very hard, and you'll need diamond Dremel-type bits to grind away the metal. The knife is razor sharp and the Damascus steel is beautiful. I've been using my knife for about 6 months now, and it's finally getting to the point where it'll need to be sharpened or honed. It's my go-to knife in the kitchen these days. I'll be giving the 2nd one I made to the person who gave me the scales for Xmas, and I'm sure he'll love it.”

“I've made 3 knifes with this Santoku blank, and each one turned out rather well. Use pins and do not bother with the rivets (1/4" mosaic pins look really nice). The VG-10 steel is excellent and sharpens very well at an 11 degree bevel; the Damascus layering is traditional (which is my preference) and matches well with hardwood scales. As a culinary knife, it sharpens nicely, cuts wonderfully, and holds its edge; is tops in our kitchen. This knife makes an excellent functional and/or ornamental gift (I made one for a Japanese friend, using Jack Daniels barrel scales, and he loves it).”

“Bolsters weren't square so I had to spend some time filing them. Nice knife in the end.”
