Not at all a bushcraft knife (kitchen knife)

[PederVisti]

Hello, just finished this knife, and i thought i would post it here, not the usual bushcrafty content, but i thought you might like it!
It's a short petty, 113mm blade, and 113mm handle.
The blade is o2, and the handle is zebrano and bocote, the wedges are ash.
The handle is octagonal, but tapering more towards the front than the back, it is just a friction fit to the tang!

That is a thing of great beauty! Very Japanese looking, I'm thinking that will be a wicked vegetable slicer.

Very nice shape, seems quite thick for kitchen use (but then I usually use japanese-style blades).

That's gorgeous!

Wonderful shaped design. I'll use the edge, the sides and the spine of that one.

That's a lovely knife and handle combination.

Beautiful knife.
Love the wedges , It's a great idea to use a tapered hole for the tang and just a friction fit for the tang.
So I take it there was no epoxy or glue used at all?
... I mean ,how did you join the zebrano to the bocote?

Not a doubter , just curious...👍

Thanks alot
The zebrano and bocote are glued yes, and the wedges are glued to the inside of the hole but not directly to the tang.
I am still finetuning and testing this construction method, but so far it has worked very well for the knives i have made this way.
