Moms 70th birthday gift

[Runthemall]

Thought I'd share a chef knife and saya that I made for my Moms 70th birthday. She loved it! This is knife #7 and my first attempt at both chef/saya. A great challenge. Wish I would've used stainless instead of 1084, though. I wanted to make a safe queen, but heck, she's using it!

Specs:
1084
Stabilized maple burl
Brass mosaic pins
7" blade
Poplar wood saya
