G'day OzzieAu thanks and they are not full tang (hidden tang) is what they are and being Kitchen knives they are just a nice fit and glued with 2 part Arildite the strongest one you can get.

They are not going to get knocked around like forged in fire testing so not much need to put pins through the handle to secure it

I will/might be in the future selling the odd one, just send enquire via the messages if your interested

cheers dave

Beautiful work Dave.

Thanks Dave,
This stainless steel Santoku kitchen knife has served me well for over 20 years. I picked it up from a guy who makes and sells knives at a country craft fair.

But I would love to compliment it with a Gyuto style knife, perhaps something like this....
