"Big Carver" Kitchen/Carving Knife

[J. Neilson]

I just finished this piece up for a gentlemen just in time for Thanksgiving.

This is a large, full-tang kitchen/carving knife with a blade of 400+ layer damascus done in a "raindrop" pattern. The blade has a 10" cutting edge, approx. 1 1/2" high (spine to edge) and 15" overall length with a flat spine and rounded thumb rest area. The bolsters are ball-bearing canister damascus with hidden pins. The handle scales are A-grade Desert Ironwood Burl done in a "palm swell" style secured with stainless steel handle bolts capped with tri-tone mosaic pins.

Thanks again.

Well, as I mentioned, the gent who ordered the "Big Carver" asked me to make a Fork to match.... let me know what you think (I know my pix arenn't the best, really wish I was able to have Chuck Ward photo the pair).

So, how'd I do?

That is a lovely set, the bolsters are a nice touch!

Thanks very much. I tend to make more blades out of the "bolster steel" than anything else the last couple of years but, I thought it would make a nice contrast to the "Raindrop" pattern.
