Greetings Everybody,
I have these two sweet knives up for sale right now. Both would be fantastic additions to any kitchen.
AND....just do you know, all of my knives have a thin convex blade geometry, and are NOT full flat grinds. I take great pride in making my knives this way..... It takes more time but the performance results are evident in use.
First-up, is a fairly new model in my line-up of designs that I am creating in stainless steel.
This is the Personal Chef Model, a knife that was inspired by one I forged for myself back in 2012, which you can read more about HERE
OAL is 12.25" and the cutting edge just shy of 7.25" blade width at the heel to top of handle is 1 & 7.8"
This knife is sure to become someones most used, and favorite knife in their kitchen. It just has a fantastic feel in the hand, and is a perfect size for daily meal prep.
It features a fine distal taper and tapered tang,
the balance is right at the front of the handle,
this design created more-so for the home cook where most people tend to opt for the handle held position over the pinch grip more widely practiced in production kitchens....though you certainly can do both with this knife
This knife is stock reduction CPM 154 at RC 61-62,
and is dressed in some vintage, and seldom seen, Turquoise and black canvas Micarta.
Set in place with Peened bronze pins and featuring rare Westinghouse blue ivorite Micarta inlay, over a blind pin.
AND.......
I feel confident that this knife would be a fantastic gift for the cook in your family, favorite chef, or foodie loved-one that appreciates quality-time in the kitchen.
As with all California Custom Knives , this one comes with one it's own custom trademark Slip Sheath and makers Certificate.
This one is SOLD
$675 to your door. PP is best for me.
Next up is a really cool utility ultralight with a striking look:
This is a fantastic and wonderfully light & quick knife. This thin-bladed-beauty is a tough and ready to go utility slicer!
Exhibiting my Trademark Tribal-Wrap of contrasting 1mm woven cotton lines of natural and green to match the Curly Maple Inlay; this knife has a nice nimble feel in the hand.
It is a perfect knife for daily slicing and food-prep, would serve very well as a table carving knife for smaller cuts of meats or fowl, and could even be a fine cheese knife for larger cheese services.
The blade is tough and flexible, and could easily be used as a fillet knife for smaller fishes, and will excel at detail cuts of veggies & meats.
The Blade is fully hardened 52100 carbon tool steel with a forced-patina Mustard-finish.
The handle is African Blackwood with Dyed/Stabilized Curly Maple inlay, and exhibits Tribal Wrap that is registered into the handle,
and has been rosin-impregnated to keep water and foods out, while creating a nice grippy handle where you want it.
OAL (overall length) is: 11 .75" the Blade is: 6.5" to the handle and exhibits 6" of cutting edge.
This would be a great knife to gift to your favorite chef that appreciates the unique and finer things in the cutlery-realm.
As with all California Custom Knives , this one comes with one it's own custom trademark Slip Sheath and makers Certificate.
This one is $475 shipped to your door. PP is best for me.
And a fun little video I did with this knife...standing paper-cut....
