This one is full convex ground .095 thick VG10. Convex grind transitions right into a high polished zero convex edge. Octagonal handle is made of polished Black Canvas Micarta with mosaic pins.

This one is available on the exchange if anyone is interested.

Yeah that one was purdy! Looking to make a few more with similar handle style
 
Ban, any plans on making a longer version, maybe 10"? As an avid home cook and someone who is deeply obsessed with kitchen cutlery, a 6" chef's knife just doesn't present much usefulness. I will say that it looks fantastic from a fit and finish stand point.
 
I am working on a few 8"-8 1/2" with similar handles. That is the max blade length that my current material inventory will allow. Will probably do one in VG-10 and Elmax.
 
8.5" is a good starting point, 10" or 240mm is the sweet spot for heavy prep tasks. I love your style, keep up the good work.
 
Can't say I do anything fancy in my kitchen, but I've found an 8" chef's and a 3.25" paring to accomplish most anything I need to do. I'd love to get a 8-8.5" BT Chef's and a paired paring knife. I suppose I'd want to splurge for a 10-12" down the line, if I ever got into big prep work.
 
I cook quite a bit of small meals these days and exclusively use something with a 6" inch blade. I suppose it is called a Petty Chef or something of that nature. I can see how having a larger blade would be more efficient and useful when doing heavy food prep.
