Hey everyone! First knife is an 8" Euro Chef's knife in thin 26c3 Swedish carbon steel with hamon. The steel is very similar to Hitachi White # 1 but is made in Sweden. It is an excellent kitchen knife carbon steel. The hardness on this bad boy is 65HRC. The blade was hand rubbed to 1200 grit then etched in vinegar, lemon, and pickle juice to bring out the activity. I wish the photo would do the hamon more justice. It is beautiful with good activity and an interesting area near the tip. The spine has been rounded for comfort in a pinch grip. As you would expect on a custom kitchen knife, the grind is very thin behind the edge. Balance point is right at my makers mark. The maple handle has been treated with Watco Danish oil, then a bit of TruOil, and a final wax buff. I am quite fond of this one and keep telling myself, "I don't need to keep it! I don't need another knife!" But you need it, that's for sure! Includes plastic edge guard.

Paypal preferred (samuraistuart@yahoo.com). This is also my email address, so if would like to contact me, send me a PM through this site or send me an email. All of my knives include free shipping in the USA as well as a lifetime worry free warranty. If anything goes wrong with the knife, I'll repair or replace it. You can't beat that! I would also like to mention that most all of my work includes thin stock, thin grinds, thin edges, low angles, and high hardness. All of this combines for excellent edge retention and a very pleasurable cutting experience. I ask that the buyer understand that my knives are not made for the masses like most commercially available knives. They are tools meant to be used as intended and with care and common sense. Thank you very much for taking the time to check out my work! Follow me on Instagram: stuartalandavenport
