I'm not sure if both of these would technically be called paring knives or not. I'm guessing so... Whatever you want to call them, they're very "slicey." :D

Both blades are 1080+ from Alpha Knives Supply (also called 80CRV2) heat treated to 61/62 Rockwell and ground very thin. The edges have surprisingly good flex for being so hard.

Top (blue) knife- blue dyed & stabilized Box Elder burl with black Micarta pins
OAL- ~8-1/4"
Blade- 4-1/16"L x ~13/16"W x 0.076" thick at ricasso
--SOLD-- shipped in the states


Black knife- black G10 scales with black Micarta pins (it's a stealth kitchen slicer ;) ).
OAL- 7-1/16"
Blade- 3-3/8"L x 3/4"W x 0.070" thick at the ricasso
--SOLD-- shipped in the states

Just in case my emails didn't go through, I wanted to make sure you guys know that both of these were shipped yesterday afternoon (1-2-14).

Thanks fellas! :)
 
I got mine as well! It arrived super fast from the west coast - 2 days like woah -

Seriously ground razor sharp - but for some reason its chainging color :rolleyes:
 
Looks like your knife is developing a nice patina form use in the kitchen. That's what expected with a blade made of carbon steel. It will become darker and more even with time. Not only it looks beautiful (IMO), but patina is also protecting the blade from rust. Still, to avoid rust the blade needs to be wiped out dry after each use. Applying thin coat of food grade mineral oil also helps. Kitchen knives made with high carbon steel require regular maintenance, but it is not at all complicated.
