tantrum86 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I will be attempting my first chefs knife soon and after perusing the forums and stickies I've still got one question for those of you who have made astounding chefs knives. When forging the knife how close do you forge to the final thickness? I will be using a very basic 1090 steel for my first try at this my final thickness I am aiming for is around 1/8.

Rich Hale Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 We pretty well covered the thickness before heat treat in the knife making lessons....and I will add that if you wish a final blade thickness of 1/8",,,start with metal that thick..Working chefs knves take some planning and experience,,,,make some use them then make more,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
