Man is that one sweet!!!!! I need a better paying job!!!! I could always live in my volvo down by the river.Just me and my knives . I don't think Jen would go for living in the volvo to support my knife habit even if it does have heated seats. haha.
 
That one is awesome, I love it!

FBC, I'd split the gas prices with you if I could move in :D

Must have more money!
 
I need to start a finance company so I can finance all the DFK's I want. Would love to have this in my kitchen.

Nice looking knife! Did you round the spine on this one? Personally I like a bit more belly in a chef knife, I do use lots of fresh herbs and minced veggies in my meals, but I bet many people would love a knife of this shape.

I'll set you up with 5 points below prime, zero down, 20 drill bits per month. :D

It is slightly rounded for comfort, I want this one to feel good in the hand all day.

Belly... just depends in my opinion. I posted a few like this on a kitchen knife forum and they wanted less belly than I thought. This shape is a cross between a Japanese Chopping Chef's Knife and an American style rocking Chef's knife for the best of both worlds.

I do plan on more or the American style with more belly, I had one like that started but it had some bad warping problems during quench that i couldn't straighten out.
 
Yeah, amount of belly sure is a very personal choice. I really don't like santuko knives, and just haven't got on the japanese kitchen knife bandwagon. I still prefer the classic french chef patterns, and even some of the german ones with a straighter spine. But, I don't have just a 3 knife set in the kitchen either so I don't look for compromise in shape! Sharpening is usually an all day affair going through a dozen or more kitchen knives!

Great work though!

I could probably do that, but most of them would be 3mm. Now endmills, that might be a little different. Although they have started wanting everyone to be sure thier tools need changing before they change them. Might make pickin's a little slim. Reminds me, I need to check that scrap pan.
 
I meant niagara the waterfall like coolant on machines such as the Mazak 5800; I thought it was a well known term. Is the company Niagara Precision? There are a lot of Niagara machine companies.

I thought you were talking about Niagara endmills. Never heard Niagara used to describe coolant, always heard it as flooding coolant. Most newer machines run high pressure, through the spindle coolant. Most of our machines are Mori Seiki.
 
Sorry I missed out.
Daniel, I hope you'll make more like this... perhaps a little smaller (6-6.5" blade) :thumbup: Oh, and a paring knife :)

I enjoy making these kitchen knives, they are very different to make.

They are also a great way to get the word out as the wife of the purchaser will likely be telling all her girlfriends about how amazing that new kitchen knife is that her husband just bought ;)

IMWILSON - So many terms and jargon, it's hard to keep it all straight.
