The wonderful finished knife arrived months ago, but I haven't had a opportunity to use it, and tucking it out of Noah's way I forgot to share the final images I took of it!
Very kindly, Joel took some work-in-progress images to share, showing the knife parts in their raw states and un-assembled:
The metal parts, cut from the steel blank.
Two walnut handle options. Sadly the beautiful knotted piece was rotten, but the more subtle wave is still lovely.
All parts, ready to assemble.
And here are some images I took of the finished knife:
The knife is delightful - feels really solid and is very sharp.
I highly recommend Joel if you fancy treating yourself to a piece of high quality craftsmanship.
Best of all, I have got my hands on a good length of rosewood so hopefully will be giving my knife a proper test making a pair of long handled sundae spoons very soon.
