Love the koa with the white spacers and with a fine edge like that it will make a fine carver and have beef to chop too.
 
that is beautiful! I'm a sucker for Koa, and that's a seriously nice piece of koa!

Agree with Ausbrooks, those white liners really add some pop. Your plunges and the geometry of the choil area make for a really cool semi-bolster. Kinda Euro- but unique in your own way.

Thanks John! This is some really pretty Koa from J.Doyle. It's a little lighter than normal but with some nice dark curls...it fun to look at!

Thats a beauty. The colors really catch the eye. All bright and shiny and the wood plays well with the blade and liners.
Is making me a bit more hesitant for the one I'm making but it also shows what can be done with some perciverence.
 
Wow, Daniel. That's really a beautiful knife! I like the white liners with that terrific koa. Nice work all around.
