Speaking of Green Rivers here's my rendition of one of their very large butcher knives. I call it The Competition Carver. I had two orders for one of these and both guys were competitive BBQers which is how I came up with the name. Shipped those two out and since I was making two thought I might as well make three.

Its 18 inches in overall length with a 12 inch blade. Steel is AEB-L stainless at 63RC, with a brass bolster, a cocobolo spacer and elk scales. I've received rave reviews back from the other two guys. For one it has become his most used kitchen knife not just a carver. He says he can slice tomatoes so thin with it that you can see through the slices. My wife, Nichole, test drove this one for a while and she loved it too and wants one in a matching box elder to match her santuko:

One of the things she really liked about this knife was being able to use it as a spatula too:

Heck of a pizza cutter too. I cleaned it up after we used it for a while and it'll go to our ranch cook, Brother Bill.
Horsewright : Dave, thanks for the “in hand” pics to really show how capable the carver is. Killer knives

I have a friend who was always saying stuff like that. "Just wave it over the grill." So when I actually, literally, showed it a match and waved it over the grill and put the raw steak on his plate he had to say, "Okay, maybe cook it a little, like sear the sides for a couple seconds."Did have a friend of many years that passed away a couple of years ago. We'd go to some restaurant and he'd order his steak "blue". The waitress/waiter would almost always ask what that was and I 'd tell em show it a match and call it good. He'd get his steak and I'd tell him; "Hawkeye, I've seen cows hurt worse than that get better." Those two ribeyes got a good searing, our own grassfed beef btw:

Yeah buddy, I've made one machete that was bigger. These three are the biggest knives outside of that machete I've ever made! Thats a cool one. Some similarity in design for sure.

The cleaner one is 12", the grubby one 11.25".
No, I guess I won't really take these into the office and offer to use them.
Great bullnose butchers. Are those dogs going to fetch some meat for you?
