Kitchen Utility in teal dyed Spalted Birch

Landi · Jul 16, 2009

Hello BF,

I had a few requests for a utility knife that would match my chef design, this is what materialized, it almost looks like a really healthy steak knife.

OAL at 8 5/8 inches, and a cutting edge of 4 inches, with a full flat grind.

Cut from 1/16 stock, and 1 1/4 inches edge to spine.

Handle is teal dyed stabilized Spalted Birch, stabilized by Mike at WSSI, with SS 1/4 Corby rivets hardware. Buffed to a high luster

Steel is ATS34 and is heat treated, cryogenically treated, and tested to guaranteed Rc of 59-61 by Peters of Meadville, PA.

Knife is $139 each. Shipping is $10 Conus, I will ship internationally at cost. MO, Check, Paypal... are all fine.

Note - the base price on this knife is $119, I added @$20 for a stabilized wood upgrade, base price could include most synthetics (not CF) and some non-stabilized woods.

Thanks for looking John.
