August 2, 201312 yr Hi, This is a new chef blade of 1095/L6. It's about 800 layers ( I can't keep track :( ...old age) Anyhow, it came out pretty good imho. 1095/L6. I don't have the specs as I'm at home and the knife isn't. If anyone is interested, I'll post later. As always, comments/suggestions welcome. Thanks for looking and thanks to those who posted wip's to get me interested in trying new work, and stretching my abilities. John Emmerling www.gearhartironwerks.com
August 2, 201312 yr The blade looks awesome and the handle is awesome As long as it actually cuts something I dont know if your going to get that much better at that style/design of knife. One thing you could play around with could be the handle shape. From the looks of it you have picked a ambidextrous handle, some of the higher end commercial blades come in left and right handed knives using a D shaped handle. They are meant to be more comfortable for cooking applications, not a handle shape one would use for a normal knife handle. Think that would be the only suggestion to your work I could give, just a different design idea really (you may have already done this type of handle for all I know) Keep them coming, love to have one of them in my kitchen
August 2, 201312 yr The only thing I see wrong with that one, is that it is too pretty to use. Well done sir.
