gearhartironwerks Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 This is a chef blade being donated to the Classic Wines Auction on 3-1 in Portland, OR. The auction benefits families and children in various ways. Last year, I was asked to donate by a good client, and did so. The blade fetched $750. My client is also building another house this year and wants more work. I wouldn't even think of rejecting his request. Besides, he's a good guy, and I like making pointy things. The knife is 14.75 overall with a 10" cutting edge. The ht at the heel is 55.1mm and the thickness at the heel is 2.21mm with a flat grind. The handle is stabilized buckeye burl and ebony. Also, this is a blade welded w/o flux from start to finish in a natural gas forge. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
