Hello Bladeforums,
I'm very happy to be making knives again and to be bringing my work back to y'all on BF. It's exciting to finally have the knife shop fully moved, fully-functioning, and to be making what I love to make. It's also exciting to have finally re-upped my "knifemaker" membership here. I'll keep making a few hunting or EDC knives, but my focus has shifted to knives for food preparation. The logic is that everyone can use a kitchen knife for its INTENDED purpose every day, but very few people can use and enjoy their hunting knife--as it was designed to be used--on a daily basis.
This knife is a design I've been working on, adjusting, testing, and improving for the last seven months. The 1095 blade is 2" deep at the widest and the 8.5" long, and is heat treated to a 59-60 rc. It is .100" at the spine in front of the handle and has a distal taper as well as a very slight convex to the edge. The knife is designed as an 'all-purpose' chef knife that's not too thin to be overly delicate, but thin enough to be an almost magical feeling slicer.
The handle is 25 year old walnut that I recently had stabilized by K&G. Compared to most chef knives, the handle is narrow and tall. This is a characteristic I like so much in knives by great makers like Dozier. It has a hand-rubbed Tru-Oil finish that imparts a nice luster. The pins are 5/16" solid 416 SS.
This is the first knife of its kind to be offered for sale anywhere, to anyone. One of the comments Loveless has about his own work is that it's "...almost classicly simple." As a maker, that simplicity is something I'm trying to honor. I'm really happy with how the design looks and feels, and I hope you think so too.
Price is --SOLD--$255--SOLD-- shipped to the continental US. Please inquire about international shipping before putting your hand up for it. The knife will be listed on my website beginning tomorrow, so BF members have 1st dibs.
Thanks for looking, and please let me know what you think.
