Box Elder Chef's knife - SOLD

[Remyrw]

Blade is AUS8, 7 3/4" long, 12 1/4" overall length, 3/32" thick and slices beautifully.
The handle is stabilized box elder with mosaic pins
I have applied a high quality clear coat then lightly buffed it for additional protection in the kitchen.
Price is $125

First - In the interest of full disclosure, the base blades are not made by me. They are industrially produced AUS8 blades. I have been using one for almost two years now and love it, I have no qualms about putting my name on the final product. I do some finish work on the blades and handle them.

Can you tell us what the Rockwell hardness is on the knife? Thanks Walt

Not really. It's AUS8 and the blade is the cryo'd version. They're pretty typical of a germanic style blade, not super hard, you use a steel to realign the edge regularly. If I had to take a wild guess I'd say 57-58 based on the book info on AUS 8 and how it behaves relative to other knives I have solid numbers for.
