Curly Koa chef {Video}

[BenR.T.]

Here is another kitchen knife I just finished up. This one has a curly Koa handle, tapered tang, and a clay quenched blade.
The OAL is 12 7/8" with an 8" blade. This one will be going with me to OKCA winter show in a month.
Any and all comments welcome!
Thanks for looking.

That is a great looking knife. I really need to get some quality kitchen cutlery (to replace my Cutco)

Very nice chef knife. I really like the slight taper in the tang. Bet it feels good in the hand.

Nice Knife Ben have fun at the show . thanks for adding tunes to your video I think all the knife video's should have tunes or commentary .

Very nice Ben! I sense another name sky-rocketing here. :thumbup

On a sidenote--- Don't be surprised if you get a nasty message from youtube. EVERY video I've put up that had music playing in the background resulted in emails saying I was breaking copyright and usage laws. :grumpy:

But that's not what got me to post. A super cool and clean knife is what got me to post. :thumbup:

Thanks very much for posting Nick. I am trying to push myself on some higher end blades, I just don't have much time for them in between my orders for users and my full time day job. I do have a couple special ones planned for the the OKCA show in April though, big bowie, nice hamon and stag, should be fun!

So far no nasty notes from youtube, but thanks for the heads up!!
