Overview shot for size comparison - details below
David Boye 6" Chef/cook knife that he made for me

Boye BDS blade detail
Stainless Steel Damascus chef/cook knife
bought from Cutlery Shoppe some years ago -
this looks identical to the Hattori brand knife and even box that it came in.
7 1/8" blade - VG-10 core sanwiched (SanMai) between stainless steel Damascus 12" overall length full tang pakkawood handles.

Kershaw Shun Classic paring knife:
3 1/2" Blade - VG-10 core sandwiched (SanMai) between 410 stainless Damascus

I intend to use this both as a kichen knife and as an outdoors knife - as it fits neatly into the hip-pocket leather sheath of the AG Russell Woodswalker - see this thread -
