That santoku is a stunner and appeals to every fiber of the kitchen geek in me. May need to have a conversation regarding one soonJlando19 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 7:41 pm I'm posting these as a response to see some of my handy work from Bruyere_Royale. Hope it doesn't distract too much from the thread and I hope you guys enjoy the photos!
This first one is stainless steel with brown micarta scales and is the one I used to cut my 3P's with.
This second one is a Santoku with maple burl and black resin scales.
This third one is my take on a hunter in stainless steel and dessert iron wood scales.
This fourth image is all stainless steel. Same hunter as the one above but with a smaller version also.. First one has spalted avocado wood on the handle, the other two have dyed leapord wood handles.
Thanks for looking! Now back to your regularly programmed Latest Tobacco Purchases!

Haven't purchased any tobacco in quite some time. I really don't need any. But last night I snagged a 250g box of Sammy G chocolate flake (which I had none of) and 2 more tins of McConnell lat flake.
*one big reason I haven't ordered much is the additional $6 fee most online retailers have to charge for signature required shipping. I try to find places that ignore that particular regulation

That pipe was made by Steve and Roswitha Anderson (S&R Woodcrafts). Their pipes were / are outstanding.MikeDennison wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 3:50 pm LC Vanilla in this Canadian. It's a tobacconists pipe, but I can't remember who it was made for. I'm posting a pic of the logo stamped on the shank, in case someone recognizes it.
Sorry! Posted this in the wrong place.
Steve is no longer with us but I believe Roswitha still owns and operates Pipes & Pleasures . . . Columbus, OH.

Daughters and Ryan Rimboche S.J. from Smoking Pipes. I really regret not getting in an order for Picayune before they dropped the axe. Oh well, you can't miss that which you never knew. This R.S.J is mighty tasty. I hope it sticks around. @simplepipes, I hear Three Sails is safe!

Did you ever try this? I am curious what you think.Dr Uhaha wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 12:01 amIt is considered a codger blend - probably because it was widely available in pouches. Haven't tried it yet - got a boatload of stuff in recently. Will let you know what I think. ✔Chef Benny wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 11:49 pmTo my understanding.. Gold block was a codger otc blend in the UK back in the day. I got a tin i wanna pop some day. Have you tried the stuff?

I still got a little store credit left since SP can't seem to get my order right after 3 tries... I will grab a tin and hope for the best.
