8" Chef in Carbon/SS San Mai

[Salem Straub]

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.

Really cool. Lovely detail how the blade too handle junction is curved. It hurts my head thinking about trying to do that.
