And take a very close look because these are all hand built, hand fitted and handcut inlays.
The folders work as they should.

Harumi Hirayama is the Japanese knifemaker who's work is shown on the link. She does extraordinary work. Even the blades are cut by hand and beveled by drawfiling.

It was an honor to have Harumi as a guest here in the shop and home a few years back.
Absolutely beautiful work, Thank you William.

As one who's first choice is the 5lb maul, I enjoy and appreciate someone that can do it with fineness.

Thanks,,
