I'd like to share this crazy custom I was asked to do a while back. A Custom Take-down Pizza cutter for a chef in Tokyo.
He wanted something robust for everyday use and had to be fully disassemble-able for easy cleaning. Here's what I came up with

Some Specs:
Blade: AEB-L High carbon stainless steel - cryo-frozen & 3x tempered to 61HRC
Handle: Tapered 6Al 4V Titanium Full tang, Brass dovetailed bolsters, Spalted & stabilized Box Elder burl.
Details: Brass fittings, 304 Hex screws, 6Al 4V Titanium arms

Fully disassembled pizza cutter

Textured brass screw accents
A closeup on all that spalted wood burl character
A little something unique from the culture I grew up with I designed these patterns based on Filipino textile motifs normally found on clothes and apparel - I don't see why not chef knives/tools?
Of course, I had to try it out before shipping it out!
If you'd like something like this, it would go for about 840USD. Hit me up over at baleteblades@gmail.com for one just like it!
THANKS FOR LOOKING! Check out daily updates through any of my socials you might be on!
