Here is a 3.5" Paring knife with green G-10 scales and a nice thin grind!!
OAL- 7 5/8"
blade- 3 5/8" long, .059" thick at the spine, .024" measured 1/4" behind the edge, and .005 at the shoulder of the edge, 7/8" wide
steel- 1095 high carbon, differentially hardened. heat treat includes a double normalize, double anneal, double edge quench { about half of the blades width} and triple temper for a really nice performing blade that takes and holds a great edge and yet is easy to resharpen!
grind- a full flat grind, sharpened on a Norton Fine India stone with micro bevels, to an agressive razor edge
finish- 220 grit finish under a scotchbrite belt finish, with light firescale finish on the spine,
handle- Green G-10 scales, with Brass corby bolts. handle is finished with 200 grit with the lines running across the handle so it looks good yet isn't slick
sheath- no sheath on this one, but I can make one if needed for an extra $20.
the prototype of this line of kitchen knives in 1095 {a 5" santoku} did very well in cutting performance, a friend and I cooked lunch with it to check performance in the kitchen, we cut tons of rope, did 12 edge flexes on each side with no chipping or rolling, and then clamped her in a vise and she did 4- 90 degree flexes { 2 in each direction, I cant tell how many foot pounds of torque were required as my torque wrench is set for narrow tang hunters and couldn't attach it to the handle} without breaking or the edge cracking. after the last flex, I straightened her out, added some Bocote scales and now she resides in my kitchen block. This line will typically do 100 or more cuts on my 1/2" manila rope with an edge thickness of .008" or more, before they require an increase of 2-3 pounds to complete the cuts. This line also offers thin to very thin grinds, very nice cutting ability, and basic machine finishes to reduce the price point. Being made from high carbon 1095, they will develop a patina during use.
$65 plus $5 for shipping/insurance to CONUS. I can accept paypal Joe357m@bresnan.net or money order, or silver at spot price.
