Here's my latest chef knife.
The blade has a french style edge profile, and is forged and ground from my own 52100/304 san mai. It features a hybrid flat/mild convex grind, down to zero before sharpening.
The handle is stabilized feather walnut, with a bolster of stabilized buckeye burl and a stainless spacer.
A domed stainless pin provides a little extra insurance for handle fastness.
Specs:
Blade length, 8
Overall length,
Blade height at heel, 2-1/4
Max spine thickness, .110
Edge before sharpening, 0.001
Total weight, 6 oz.
I am asking $750 plus shipping for this knife, and I will ship internationally. NOW SOLD.
Pics and a vid!

I make knives to the best of my ability and knowledge. I research to find the best materials and methods to use, in order to provide the very best product, in terms of value, durability, performance, and aesthetics. Should a knife purchased from me fail in materials or workmanship, please ship it back to me at my own expense for repair or replacement at no cost.
I will sharpen any of my knives at no cost; however I do ask that you pay for shipping costs for this service.
I am always pleased to hear from any of my customers, past, repeat, potential, or otherwise. Please go to my web site, see "Contact Me" and give me a call. If you have any questions regarding these policies, I'd like to hear them.
Also, if this knife or any other I have made that you have seen looks close to something you would like, or if you would like to talk about an entirely different knife design altogether, please contact me, I do custom orders as well and always enjoy talking about knife designs, whether or not we actually end up doing business.
