I have just finished my next batch of Gastby M390 Super Slicer with Black Canvas Micarta with maroon liners.
These knives are my newest creation and I hope you enjoy them as much as you did the last model.
The Specs:
Bohler M390, heat treated to 59.5-60.5 Rc by Stack Metallurgical
.110 thick at the spine with a Full Height Flat bevel grind, brought to .007/.009 behind the hair shaving edge
Designed with meat and kitchen uses in mind
4.5 Blade length, with an OAL of 8.5
Tumbled blade finish but stopped just short of mirror (holds up to various environments)
Black Canvas Micarta with Maroon liner material- this was chosen in order to blend in with existing knife blocks, subtle but yet very high performance
Custom made SS Corby fasteners that have been ground down after epoxy during my final assembly
Being that I have designed them to sell in sets a limited number are available for individual purchase @ $149 EA, please email me directly or PM to discuss specific quantity discounts.
I have been working diligently to get these ready by Thanksgiving and any blades purchased will ship immediately upon payment.
Thank you Blade Forum community for your support!

As I am newer maker I would like to take a brief moment and explain my process with these knives. I work in an aerospace machine shop in the Pacific NW. The shop I work at specializes in precision grinding of various parts and equipment. I have had a passion for knives for many years and about a year ago I started grinding my own blades using this precision equipment after hours. The handles are definitely the hardest part for me to complete. I have several friends in the machining industry who were able to help me see my designs become a reality. The finishing touches are all done by hand to ensure the proper level of fit and finish on these knives. The result is an extremely professional, precise, tangible product of my imagination. All sharpening is done at a low speed to maintain the heat treat tolerances out to the final sharpened tip.
