Sam Salvati Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Here is a knife I finally finished, a chef's or sushi type knife, blade is 1084, handle is sugar maple. The blade is chisel ground for a right hand (I think), it is flat ground on the bevel side and flat ground then slightly convexed on the other side. The sugar maple is gorgeous stuff. Comments and critique welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sells Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I think this make 3 blades finished now ? nice Chef knife, but most sushi blades I have seen are flat bottom, not arched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

element Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Well made, looks functional. Regular maple is usually bland compared to exotic woods but when you get curly maple, aka tiger maple like this it does all the difference in the look even function because curly wood ( any kind) is much harder to split and not likely to fail. Is that steel gonna rust if you leave water on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Salvati Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Yes it is plain carbon steel so it will rust, but no biggie. It's not a problem if you take care and oil it after use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
