Integral Chef knife

[Michael Rader]

I just finished up an 8" forged integral chef knife out of 52100 for a customer and wanted to share a bit here. I'm doing a bit of a WIP on how this one will get a "mustard finish" (forced pre-patina) on the Custom page if you are interested.

Handle is Box Elder Burl with Curly Koa end-cap. Spacers are G-10 and Copper.

Also, I have a brand new website is up now with lots of my older kitchen knives, regular knives and swords in the Archive section. -M

Finished with the "mustard finish" and the customer seems quite happy with it.

(I just need to take better photos - sorry.)

I love the finish. In fact I liked it so much I spent most of the weekend Painting up different patterns on some blades. Thanks for the inspiration.
