My chef's knife handle burnt under the pot of my gas stove a while back. I made another following YouTube videos. It's beautiful and for a first go I'm ecstatic. I'm seriously considering ripping the handles off the rest of my knives and doing them all. Why not grab an old knife and test on that. It's much easier than you think. 

I have a knife from Japanese knife imports with the burnt wood handle. I simply wanted to replace the wa handle with the wood of my choice that pairs up nicely with the ferile and is finished well so that water and funk don’t enter. How much should one expect to pay for this service after sourcing a block of wood? Do you guys have recommendations on this process? Vendors? Etc?

Looking for advice on re-handling a knife
