Hi all. Here's a new one. It's one of my 8" "line chef" knives. The design philosophy for these places performance as imperative, with materials and finish remaining as affordable as possible. They are kitchen tools first and foremost.
Specs are as follows:
Overall length, 12.5"
Blade length, 7.75"
Blade height at heel, 2.125"
Spine thickness at bolster, .098"
Total weight, 5.5 oz.
The blade is AEB-L at 62 rockwell, with cryo.
The handle is burgundy "Maizecarta" which is what I call Warwood. (War and the kitchen don't mix, IMO.) It's made of corn stalks and natural resins, a very tough material. The blade and handle are both left at a 400 grit hand sanded satin finish.
The blade features a full flat grind with subtle convexity in the lower third, finish ground to a zero edge before sharpening.
Price is $260 plus shipping. Annndd... SOLD.
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 your money back in full, or repairs at no cost. Its your choice.
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.
