antigoth24 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Several months ago I was approached to do a limited edition line of chef's knives for a small company in New York. After much discussion of design they are almost done, all that remains is for the companies logo to be laser etched into the box lids and the logos (their's and mine to be put on the knives). While I was finishing these up I also made another 8 inch chef's knife for my sister as a present for her helping out with my upcoming wedding. All comments and criticisms welcome. Thanks for looking! Specs: Standard model - Overall length: 14 1/2 inches -Blade: 15n20 and 1095 -Handle: Stabilized black ash burl with stainless steel pins. "Executive"? Model: - Overall length: 14 1/2 inches -Blade: 15n20 and 1095 -Handle: Mastodon molar, ebony, and mosaic pins Boxes: Curly maple and curly Mahogany Chef's knife for my sister: Overall length: 14 1/2 inches Blade: W2 Handle: Mastodon molar, snakewood, ebony. Pins: copper tubing and stainless steel Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Ivan Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Those are outstanding looking knives! The Patterns are excelent and the hamon on the W2 knife looks great but those handles are especially grade A work. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfootnampa Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Those are really pretty!!! I think that average owners might have a problem with them though... as I think the blades will change their looks in use pretty quickly! They are not of styles that I would ever do myself... but I do LIKE them a lot! perhaps you should consider selling one of them to me... being a smith myself I would understand about the blades changing patinas! So if you have any extras figure up a price for me and send me a private message! Frankly I like the "Sister" model the best! All are great though.

gearhartironwerks Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I like the rustic look of both and the handles are really nice as well. You can get a similar effect on the blade like the first one by sandwiching 1095/whatever with 304 and welding around the billet for a dry weld if you want stainless on the outside. This stuff is really addictive. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
