Hello guys, I am a custom maker and really wanted to make a set of steak knives. I have made one before eeaaarrrllllyy on that I think would be a good design if modified. I am not a big steak eater and generally just use my EDC to cut food. I only have expeirience with crap kitchen knives for the most part. (besides the butcher knife i made.) So I thought I should just come straight to the horses mouth for advise here.
I have 2 feet of 80crv2 that is .100" thick. I was thinking a 3.75 inch bade, maybe 4.
For handles I was thinking either highly polished micarta or a piece of blue stabilized maple I have. Let me know if you kitchen cutlery guys think this would be a good material choice, design etc, as well as how many you think I should put in a set.
I will attach pictures of the knife I made, it was one of the early ones so forgive the fit and finish some :mad: just focus on the design.

Sets are at least two, usually 4-6-8. I go 4 1/2” and tell my customers I can make them shorter if they wish. I have 30 plus water jet cut at a time. 3/32” , It’s mind numbing profiling out steak knife or any repeat patterns for that matter after a few hundred. ;-) ...As far as handles go, I suggest to my clients that people in their family will have differs likes and I can give them knives of different handles. Stabilized woods/ different color Micarta etc and thinner handles for the ladies if they have petite hands or the man has Ape sized ones like I do?.... So adjust for your clients as you grow.. Stay Safe & have Fun! :)

I'm not making these for any particular customer, this is just something I'm going to pump it out and hope someone finds it cool enough to buy.
