Beautiful work, the attention to details in the handles is impressive. You take great pride in your work!

I was curious about the length of the suji so went and researched. Looks like a heck of a slicer.
 
Thanks much. I love making knives and really do take great price in every piece the come out of my shop!! The Suji has a 12" blade actual cutting edge. It is one heck of a slicer.
It was chosen as editors choice on knivesdotcom this month. :) I would drop a link but dont want to break any forum rules.. Feel free to check it out though! :)
 
hehehe.. :) Yea I meant Pride.. :) But truth be told I do fetch a great price for most of them.. :D

God Bless

Those are absolutely gorgeous. Being left hand ground makes them danged near perfect.
 
They are stunning. I would be a bit afraid to use something so pretty. I am sure they slice lovely though.

I sure love them.

I have looked more than once!!!!!
 
They are gorgeous! if I were a top chef that warranted the salary to be able to have knives like these I'd definitely order some up. I love the handle on the paring knife especially, but the first blade is just impressive.

Would you explain to a novice what the left hand grind is and what it does? I seem to remember a sushi chef telling me one time about the grinds and how it affected a sushi knife, but can't remember offhand.

Thanks much for the comments on these. :) I was able to speak to the owner of these knives last week. and hes very pleased with them, and the petty/paring knife was a gift for his wife. and she loves it and wont even let him use it! lol :) Making Knife Knuts one blade at a time. :)
 
I am still surprised there are not a ton more comments on these. I have been back and oogled these more times than I can count!
 
lol, Thanks for the comment. I am happy that you like the knives! Thanks for the complement! :) God Bless YA!
