My first attempt at a kitchen knife. I was not sure what to get my mother for mothers day. I know she ooohs and aahhs when I show her a knife I made so I thought I'd make one for her.
Kind of has a bit of the Japanese influence going here. This thing will slice and dice with the rest of them. 7 1/2" S30V Blade, Box Elder Burl handle with mosaic pins and 416 mirror polished bolsters. I was reading one of the magazines about the grinds on some of these new knives and applied them to this one. One side is flat ground to faciltate sliding through the food you are slicing. The other side is deep hollow ground to help the food that is being sliced fall away and not stick to the blade. I tested it with tomatoes, carrots and a couple of apples and it works as designed.
Sorry for the crappy photo. This knife was actually finished two hours before we were leaving for moms and I had to take the picture in a hurry.
Hope you like!
