Here's my latest finished project, really liking the kitchen knives lately. I'm still fumbling with the hidden tangs, I ended up peening the front of the bolster because I get in there with a microscope and start thinking I can see the gap.. but it looks kinda cool anyway. Thanks for looking, I'm always open for suggestions!! Steel- O1, hand finished and etched, rounded spin Handle- Stabilized claro walnut, brass, G10 Overall- 14.25" Cutting edge- 9"
That looks amazing man! Very much sujihiki style. I love the way you taper the handle towards the rear. The hammered bolster looks artisan craftsman all the way. I noticed that the heel is hooked back towards the user. Maybe not a concern, but that may want to grab onto something. Does this have a home for Christmas? Dan
Very nice work. Ferric for etch? The rounded spine in neat. Kind of a trademark in your last couple. Certainly will be a happy customer
