Finished! It was one of those projects....

[Sando]

It took over a year and a half to finish these. Not that I worked constantly, but it took forever to plan, then get materials, then I just didn't want to work on them.

As they got closer to done I was more and more afraid I would screw something up and ruin the set.

Ever happen to you?

ATS 34 - handrubbed to 1500

Great looking set!!

 

[Andrew Lynch]

I like them a lot! Now, lets see some pics of them in action

 

[Sweany]

DAng it. I wouldn't want to use those on round steak .

t bones and Prime Rib only

 

[B . Buxton]

I agree, those are US grade AAAAAAAAAAAAA and should only be used on the finest cuts of meat. Beautifully done. What did you use on the maple, stain and sealer??

I assume the spalted maple is stabilized.Is there any problem with spalted maple as apposed to maple burl ?...And you're guests will say - I don't want to use anything so fancy to cut a steak !

No kiddin'! That set is too pretty to use!

Georgeous, Steve. Tough to make a whole set come out so close alike. Well done. Making a case for them, too??

 

[Sando]

Thanks guys! They're a little odd, but their my children and I love 'em.

Mr. Hull: There's no golden sections on those blades

Mr. Buxton: The wood was stabilized by K&G, should stay together.

Andrew: Can't buy any steak until they are paid for, then I won't have them to eat the steak!?

Fitzo: I planned on having a laywer make a case for them, but it was too expensive. Really tho, I don't know how. Hoping the new owner can get that done.

Very sweet! I got some nice steaks in the freezer, so just send 'em my way for some Quality Control.

P.S. Nice pictures too.

 

[ddavelarsen]

New Owner! Those look like keepers to me. I'd just tell im they got lost in the mail or something. That's fine work Steve.

 

[J. MacDonald]

Those are sweet. They deserve the finest freshly butchered USDA Prime Filets for testing. No frozen steaks need apply. They should also come with a nice wooden set of steak plates. I can't stand the thought of someone grinding those fine edges into a porcelan plate..
