Chuck Richards Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Here is a new chef's knife I just finished up. Blade is 11.75" W-2 tool steel with a nice hamon. The collar is 416 stainless, handle is double dyed and stabilized box elder burl with a stainless and copper mosaic pin to set it all off. OAL is 17" This knife is surprisingly light in the hand. The blade thickness is .155 at the ricasso. This will make my daughters boyfriend really nice Christmas present. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlpierson Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Beautiful! That's going to be one happy boyfriend. Hope you expect him to get the idea that you like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Richards Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 No he is not a chef. He had me make one for his fathers birthday and liked it so much he almost kept it. So my daughter asked if I would make him one. This one turned out much better than his dads. I think he might get the hint, but if not I can always use it for another purpose ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
