- About 1,5 year ago I recieved unusual request: 8" santoku bladeshape CARIBBEAN (!) chef knife. It took me 6 months to design the handle and another year to collect all materials. In this episode I'm making the most unique knife I've ever made! There is Marlins Bill bone, stabilized (!) COCONUT, LARIMAR STONE and MOTHER OF PEARL on the handle! The 12 layer Damascus imitate San Mai. It was necessary because of the S-grind blade shape!

-David
That was cool!
Thank you Kinga :)!
Oh boy, you definitely didn't take any shortcuts on this one. Those materials surely were a real pain to work with but the result is definitely worth it. Phenomenal work!
Haha, thanks Sven!! Cant agree more- this knife was pain in the guts, but at least, now I can say loud: I successfuly stabilized a coconut🤣!
One of the best ones you've made so far. Great job David!
Thanks Bart!
another great knife. that would be a center piece in any kitchen
Thanks Adam! It was definitely one of the most crazy project I've ever did! And the owner is very happy because of the history of this knife:)
DAVID!! I was wondering where you were and how you were doing, but seeing this commission now I know. Look at that, you persevered and now the results speak for themselves! After finishing this you deserve a trip to the Caribbean yourself 😉 Great to see you back!!
Thanks Ozzy! I took long brake from yt- because of the press, dagger and Caribbean knife- each one took about 160h+.. Now I want to keep regularity on video publishing. Hope you don't mind Part video :P.
And about the trip to Caribbean.. Maybe not the Caribbean, but next year I hope to be at the blade show :)!
Great job !
Thank a lot Gaetan!
Health to you from Donbass
Thank you my Neighbor! Many strength to all of You in this hard times! Regards from Poland - David
I've never worked with coconut husks before. Do you think the coconut husks were the hard part, or was it the resin?
Hey Hawk (It's your name, right?)!
Deffinitely the Coconut Hask- I've worked with hard stabilized wood before and my bend saw cut it easily. The coconut itself is super hard- similar to the stone (if I have to compare it). There wasn't big difference before and after stabilization. It's ok to filed and grind but cuting it is terrible. Thanks for watching:). -David
Yeah, David, my name is Hawk. That is very interesting. I wonder if it machines like metal. I might have to pick some up and see what I can do with it.
