Soldered brass bolsters with hidden pins Stabilized Box Elder burl scales held on with epoxy and cutler's rivets. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 That might be the most stunning chef's knife I've seen. Wow, beautiful work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in Oly, WA Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 A beauty, for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhitee93 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Thanks guys This is about as good as I can do right now, and I am pretty proud of this one. However, I also realize it is pretty "mid-grade" compared to what a lot of people are doing now. There are makers that are really inspiring me to push the both the quality and design aspects of my knives. I've only been at this 4 or 5 years, and probably only have 25 knives under my belt so I am very much a rookie. I have a lot to learn, and a pretty steep hill to climb yet. I'm probably going to start squashing some W's and playing with some mosaics soon. We'll see how that goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspool Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Nicely done. I like seeing a well executed ladder pattern. Great stand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyO Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Very nice! I'm liking the stand tool. I may have to start doing something like that for my damascus. I'm also liking that box elder. Almost as nice as my maple. as always peace and love billyO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zrognak Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Xxxx that is pristine, really good work I have only ever done one pattern welded blade, never finished it so this is like magic to me, so clean.
