I like the swayback handle and choice of steel. If its heat treated properly, I assume it is, this knife is under priced at only $75. Very nice work.

Thanks guys. Yes Bruce it does have a slight sway from the butt of the handle to about half way down the blade. Yes it was H/T'ed in a digiatal oven with real quenching oil, it rockwell's @58-59. Roland I am a relatively new maker and I have several knives for sale at bargain prices to try to get some feedback scores. Again thanks for the compliments guys.

Many thanks Roland, hope it serves you well.
Picked up this Chef's knife 2 days ago. Excellent knife Darrin and worth easily twice what i paid. Excellent design, both blade and handle with perfect in-hand comfort & balance. Very evenly ground blade to nice & thin just above a super sharp hair-poppin edge.
Sliced a roast beef last night, "piece of cake" ! i.e. sliced through cleanly with very little downward pressure on the blade.
I think you've 'got it' (what it takes) as a knifemaker. Design(so all important) and execution are truly 'right-on' with this Chef's knife.
The only advice i can offer: Make More & Charge More.
I'm watching and will have a close look at every knife you post because i'm sure there will be knives just as well done as this one.
This is a "No B.S." report.
