Bocote is a beautiful hardwood from Chiapas & Campeche in Mexico. It’s a bit denser than a hard maple and smells like dill-pickles when you’re sanding it.

The blade is the Alma Knife Co “Carolina Shucker” in and etched/stonewashed finish.

Thuya Burl is a very rare wood species. It grows in a tiny corner of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco and nowhere else in the world. So rare that it’s only available when a storm knocks down an old tree.

Both blades are bright Nashiji finished 52100 Carbon Steel.

Making these is a study in contrast. The blades are incredibly fun to grind while manipulating the flex in the blade. The handles are a lot less enjoyable but the result….zoiks, worth it.

The Petty knife.

A post-Meiji addition to the Japanese culinary knife catalog: It holds a spot held by the Western “office knife”.
A bit larger than a paring knife & lots smaller than a cheffy it’s a general purpose tool meant for finer Veg/protein prep

Possibly the most satisfying part of being an artist is when another artist appreciates your work.

I met glass artist @dickinsonglass at this year’s kings_mountain_art_fair where he fell in love with a Nakiri similar to this one and had to have one for himself.
