matei campan Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 hello! even that I'm visiting your forum from a while, I haven't yet posted anything made by myself. so I'm starting with a "chef" that I just completed. the blade is forged from the 22+1layers Takefu Suminagashi steel, not very spectacular as look for a damascus, rather "subtle", but good steel, very easy to get an extraordinary edge from it. the handle is wire brushed wenge wood, the bolster is made from 3mm brass sheet, bent at 90 degrees, to allow a better grip on the blade, pinched with the thumb and the index, as is used for the chef knives. if the pictures appear cut on your computer, you can see the album here:http://s908.photobuc...-campan/RRchef/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM454 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 That's a fine looking blade all around. I really like the brass work as well. I'm going to borrow that someday if you don't mind. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangerdave Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Very nice. I also like that brass work, as well as overall knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Carnecchia Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Wow that's really nice. I appreciate that you realize how a chef holds a knife, I frequently see chef knifes that the maker doesn't understand chefs use a pinch grip. Personally I prefer the octagonal Japanese style handles myself. But yeah great looking knife, I like the subtle damascus. -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayden H Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 The blade looks subtle and sleek, the handle and your bolster are nice lines. The wire-brushed wood is something I'm going to try very soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
