"Hyperflex" Kitchen Knives

[Jason Cutter]

Here are some of my favourite type of kitchen knives. I make them from old hand saw blades or pre-heat treated sheets of 15N20, whichever is available at the time. The 3/64th inch thick (1mm) steel is hardened to 54-55HRC and has some amazing flex and toughness that you'd expect from saw blades. I convex grind the into the edge and mount handles. Holds an edge longer than even the forged German Mundial and Wusthoff kitchen knives and get a ripping sharp edge with just a couple of slicks on a steel. An they are quite inexpensive and quick to make...

Here are some examples. A 6inch chef's / fish, 4inch "mini-chef's" and 4inch utility knife.

What do you think ? Thanks and cheers. Jason.

Thanks guys.

Yes I do sell these, but they go quick, and these are all spoken for... Its not appropriate to post prices here. They appear from time to time on my website "Available" page, so you might like to visit there for reference prices.

I'll be away for the next 10 days, so I'll catch you guys when I get back. Jason.
