Here is a slicer I just finished for a chef friend of mine, Tommy Grella. Tommy is a big guy and wanted a big knife. As a matter of fact, everything Tommy does, he does big. http://www.grellasize.com/
The blade is 1/8" cpm154cm and is 14" OAL. The bolster has been extended over the blade as he likes to wrap his index finger over the top of the blade while slicing. The extended bolster will add a bit of comfort. Sorry for the crappy photo. I had to get this done and over to him as he is leaving for Florida to do a cooking seminar and wanted to bring this with him.

Looking great Bill! I've done a little bit of handle extension at the top for a knife of mine but nothing this extreme.

Nice to see you do a fixed blade too.
 
Very nice, Bill. The extended bolster gives it a very sleek, modern look.
 
When I delivered this to him, he immediately deboned a chicken then sliced a ripe tomato. His exact words were " This thing is sick!" I guess he likes it. Ony time will tell if the edge holds up.

George,
The wood is stabilized amboyna burl from WSSI.
