8 Inch Chef in G10

[ADD]

Someone's got a killer chef knife coming
-Vince

Come to Papa.

Actually Vince, I had John make this one up for my wife (course I may need to take it out for a test spin first )

John, this looks absolutely outstanding.

Great looking lines, grinds, and cutting edge profile.
Thin stock heat treated to a high hardness, and the ergos on that handle look killer.
I like the height, which gives the knuckle clearance and allows for even cuts on taller food items.

Imho, a lot of traditional Western stock removal makers have a hard time hitting a lot of the elements that make up a high performance chef's knife (gyuto) as compared with the Japanese steel forgers.

But truly so many things appear to be have done right on this one.

Again, many thanks on your efforts John! :thumbup:

That is really nice. Clean, crisp lines and the handle looks really comfortable and practical too. It's good to see some custom knives designed for the kitchen. I'm pretty sure others on the forum make 'em but they don't post them very often.
