Ed Steinkirchner Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 kitchen knife for my parents. this is the second version, the first was pretty ugly and not very well proportioned, and it was worped! i am actually happy with this one. the handle scales are curley maple from a mine support beam, the pins are copper(telegraph wire), the blade is bandsaw blade from a sawmill. the original one was used as a pattern which was changed to work better. it is triple normalized and edge quenched about 3/4 inch along the edge, which looks kind of yellowish in the pics. it has been used daily in catering for a little more than a year now and is still super sharp.i am glad that the blade blackened, because it doesn't get rusty as easily. thanks for looking Ed Steinkirchner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
