I bought this knife on clean-cut during the black friday sale (for ~110 euros). It had a very cheap handle. So, I had it shipped directly to Robin for rehandeling. In the beginning, I was aiming for a wa conversion but left it open for Robin. And, he came with THAT: octogonal yo handle, full tang. Just perfectly gorgeous. It fits very well the knife. Perfect balance, and the jonction between the knife and the handle is very much worked into smth that I never seen/experience before. I could not be more happy with this handle. thanks robin ! The blade is just like one expect for TF. rough finish, super sharp, white #1 voodoo, decent grind. Very comparable with the one of krassi, maybe thinner. The grind is good: it cut like a charm. So grind marks on the tip, but nothing problematic. I will make a full review at some point.

Hii! Nice thanks for posting this! I was amazed by this knife and the handle was really a surprise. It was simply awesome in my hand! "octogonal yo handle" is a good name for this .. well i could not believe the price of the knife including the handle so this is a real jackpot If i would have a yo handle than this. The knife cuts like a charm too.. together with that handle it feels ten times more expensive Also nice Photos! Seeya, Daniel

Very nice rehandle, looks like the handles I did by myself - seems like Robin works similar to me, without exact measurements, which results in not quite symmetrical lines, but an nevertheless nice look of the finished handle.
Do you know what kind of wood he used?

Masur birch, stabilized by K&G and just buffed finish. Nice pics Zetieum, glad you're happy

Hi,
A distal taper & tapered tang on one blade is a good thing and i see my first clean finish handle on a knive from TF
It looks good!
Regards, flint
