Just finished - a "Chef's Bowie"

[ArielSalaverria]

Hi

I took a break from sheathmaking and finished the handle for this knife, I call it a "Chef's Bowie"

San Mai damascus from 1070 and1010 with a 52100 core.
8" blade, 13" overall, 4mm thick (5/32")
Handle in damascus, palo santo and black and white acetate.

Not a complete bowie still, but you like it Keith?

Regards,

Ariel

Sweet!!!!!!! Tell me more about the acetate, Please!!!

I have only made one Chef's Knife per the customer's design. Boy was that a challenge.... He was very exact, but so was his sketches which helped when I was forging to shape.....

I use his sketch on my website as an example, come to find out he was a designer engineer or something like that who drew buildings and blueprints.
