Kitchen Knife Kith 2016 IM READY thread

[timos-]

Im ready! Thanks to everyone participating. the drawing will be tomorrow!

 

[Atlas Knife Company]

Not sure that I wanted to enter this, after seeing all the giant chef knives, mine seems very outclassed. Still, I want to show what I did. I've made 5 knives with this same blade shape and only slight changes. I like this one the best. It is shallow enough to fit under a fork, long enough to do most kitchen cutting. I just cut up a watermelon and sliced a bunch of pork chops and loved the feel of the handle. Best handle I've made in 6 years of bladesmithing.

I'm in, PM sent.


9-3/8" OAL, 5-1/8" edge length
G10 handle, red spacer, brass corby bolts
CPM-S30V blade
Right handed asymmetry on the handle (very slight)

CPM-S30V is evil! The edge it holds is awesome, but such a pain to work with.

That looks like an excellent knife to have around in the kitchen! S30-VN is a heck of a steel to have around too. Your knife meets all the criteria, as long as you are confident in the heat treat Then why not? Send me your info and post Im in. I would be happy to have a knife like that to use. Of course you may want to hang onto it if it is special toyou too. Its all good. thanks for posting!
