Holy shit!!! I thought I was obsessive about perfect handles. That is beautiful work, and I love the tapered tangs as well.

brythe nuckols thanks. 👍🏻

Amazing workmanship, I am blown away with the care and attention to detail. I am a stumbling amateur and know that although Thys makes this looks easy, it is in fact extremely complex and difficult to achieve this level of quality. You have my total respect Sir.

Hi Thys, how thick are the scales you work with?

[@MeadesKnives]

Andries Strydom 3/8 inch. About 10mm

[@a.sstrydomknives2784]

Thanks you sir. How thin do you go at the back when you do the hollow?

[@MeadesKnives]

Andries Strydom I plunge about a third to half the thickness of the material depending on how much I want to flare out at the back.
