When my pending business deal closes, I hope to be able to put in an order.

How long, wide and thick are the blade?

The Sandoku-Muk:
My fascination with the Nessmuk continues in my first kitchen knife. This is appropoe IMO because the Nessmuk excels in the kitchen by design. I'm quite sure there will be a Nessie in the Kitchen lineup when I get if fleshed out. But this first knife is a mix of my favorite kitchen knife, the Sandoku, but with a little change at the tip, and lots more curve to the belly. The OAL is 12.75", and the blade is 6 7/8" long. I made this one from1/8" thick 440C Rc'd to 58-60. The handle is black linen micarta, but I think once I'm really fired up I'm going to switch it to carbon fibre.

I absolutely love the looks of Kyle’s LBCK. And almost took that leap yesterday for that very same blade. . I do have and continue to use two of Kyle’s @kmellino early offerings from two summers agoAnything specific you’d like to use it for?
I’ve been getting a lot of use out of Kyle’s Lunchbox Chef’s knife that I picked up on a Friday sale. It’s great for chopping veggies and general prep work. Nimble, thin, and all business. Plus, it’s small enough to pack into a lunchbox or take on a picnic.
I like the looks of Kyle's Lunchbox Chef knife and I've been watching for one with wood that suits me.

before he had his logo. I sent them back for the logos and some handle modifications on the larger one, it’s name ive since forgotten, to enhance extended hours of user friendliness.
What I’m looking for now, since I’ve found myself in a pro kitchen, are bigger blades of thinner stock to replace/retire my 8” Global and 6 3/4” Wüsthof.

I've been talking to Kyle about some similar things. I love that he is a foodie like us. I have also been considering making my own blade blanks for a couple of models and having kyle do the handles on them to check them out. Alayna and i love sushi, and sitting at the bar as we eat lately, and watching their holds and cutting techniques I have slowly put an idea together for my own version of a sushi knife![]()
I peruse that site regularly!Even though this leads away from some of the cool options here I feel like I have to mention it because there really is quite the collection at ChefKnivestogo.com.
