BartW Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hello All; Fresh from the forge; a customer-spec nakiri / usuba inspired knife. Specs: 160 mm cutting edge; thickness of cutting edge before sharpening is 0.2 mm. full flat ground; rounded back.3 mm thick 35 mm wide. Steel : 1.2442, I love this stuff. HRC 65. Materials: Reindeer guard; gray leather spacer, kingswood handle. The handle is far longer than I would have made it, about 50 mm; but the customer wanted it really long and flat at the end to crush garlic. This is also why kingwood was selected; no food poisoning danger. What do you guys think ? I recon it can cut up an apple or two once sharpened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shimanek Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Looks like a nice chopper/slicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
