Very nice Erik, Did you forge the Chef blade?

Very nice Erik, Did you forge the Chef blade?

Yes it is forged out of 52100, severak low temp forging cycles. I have found forging out larger stock and reducing it seems to create a better blade. Scientifically I know it can't be proven but in actual real world cutting it does cut better and longer than starting with bar stock.
