No it is not spoken for... I'm planning on the Jade G10 and a chisel grind like the one on the other chef's knife. It is like a laser at .049, I plan on grinding it thin but let me know if you have any ideas for it. $150 range for the knife

Sounds good! I can put a small microbevel on it when it is ground, that will make the edge tough enough for just about anything. 15n20 is known for it's toughness, it is used for the big bandsaw blades that process whole logs!
 
Sounds good to me too!!

And thank you for taking the time to post the great pics:thumbup:
 
Great day of pics Daniel. Love the tantos and that chef knife is killer. Might have to replace my Wustof in the future. Thanks for all the pics : )

Thanks!

I'll have to make more Chef's Knives soon, I have a couple of bars of tall and thin stock... O1 and A2. More after that too! They are a fun challenge.
