Up for sale is the latest off my bench, a 9 chef knife. Its hand-forged integral from 2-5/8 round W2 tool steel stock, and clay quenched for a hamon. The blade is fully flat ground, with even distal taper. The spine is .150 at the bolster area, and the edge is ground to .006 thick before sharpening. The tang is fully tapered.
The scales are jade ghost G10, fastened with stainless Corby bolts and a mosaic pin.
Blade is hand rubbed to 1500 grit and hybrid polished for the hamon.
Knife is shipped extra sharp.
The measurements are:
14 overall length, 8-¾ cutting edge, 1-¾ blade height at heel.
Asking price is DROPPED TO $425. Price includes insured shipping to U.S.A. Paypal is preferred, PM me for questions or to make payment.
This chef knife is made to perform in the kitchen, with the very thin slicing edge. This is a good knife for processing meats, fish, vegetables, etc. I would use a different knife however for heavy chopping of frozen foods or for cutting through bone. The edge is dropped enough to clear the knuckles well from the block when chopping or mincing. The edge has a long straight section, with mild rocking curve toward the tip, more of a French style than German. Lots of block contact with this one.
Here are some pics. The bandage on my thumb is from cutting myself with it before sharpening. That hurt.
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 you find a knife you have bought from me to be lacking in any of these respects, you may ship it back to me at my expense for a full money-back return.
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.
