I finished this mini "chef's knife"
It has .120" 1084 steel, paduake/mystery wood hand from afrika (or south america I can remember, it was not labeled at the shop) and black g10 liners. Held together with 3/16 inch brass pins
Hand sanded to a 320 grit satin. It was difficult to take a picture of but it also has a mirror polished spine.
Let me know what you kitchen knife guys think, I dont really cook and when I do I just use my pocket knife lol. I know the spine is a little thick but it is ground rather thin. I have only made one other kitchen knife and that was a year or so ago when i js was just starting to really make knives. My hand sanding needs some work too, but I didnt go too crazy with it because I knew it would stain within the first day of use.
