Hey guys i must say, this design is taking smiles from me all day!!! Im having tons of funs doing these and so far they are impressing me by many ways.
Listing this amazing 170mm slicing knife out of 52100 steel hardened to 61hrc with an amazing weight, balance, finish and grind.
It is 2,5mm thick and has 40mm heel to spine. Has a really smooth distal taper towards the tip, nothing aggressive since i designed this knife to be rigid rather than flex.
This knife is obviously a bit specialized rather than an all-around knife. It is sure to become your favorite when the deal is meat, fish etc. Both deboning and filleting.
The blue stabilized maple is what this knife so special for me. As you know, stabilized maple is one-of-a-kind as you will never seem two stabilized maple with same pattern just like pattern welded steel.
Now lets talk about performance
As you can see the grind is thin and slightly convex, which will serve the purpose of slicing meat like a real king. Since the thickness behind the edge is thin, you will sharpen this blade really easy and fast, even if you are not high skilled with sharpening stones. As some of you already know, 52100 is known to be one of the most fine grained carbon steel, takes an scary edge with ease.
As you guys know im a bit maniac for the balance on my knives. Mainly reason is because this allow you to better control the blade, as well giving you more comfort while doing so. Since i have done custom orders for many people in the past that had pain in hands joints and such, this is a game changer and even if you have good steady hands you will feel nice using it too.
-----------------------------------------
CUSTOM ORDERS INFORMATION - Im taking at the moment orders on this knife both in my authorship full tang design and with japanese wa-handle. Currently doing the blades in 52100, CPM Magnacut and Hitachi Aogami 2. Handles can vary a lot, including exotic materials like mammoth fossil, coral reef, arizona ironwood, kingwood, ebony, stabilized maple in many colors available. Price range around 200 to 500$ depending on materials.
-----------------------------------------
SOLD shipped with zipped pouch included, pictures below. ((( While being new to this forum i can provide tons of international solid references, mostly from US)))
While some may think the zipped pouch is there only to make the blade looks a luxury item, its not. Its actually a safe item made to lock the blade inside and give you a safe place to store your knife during travels, keeping it away from kids in family meetins and such.
Hope you like it guys, this is a design im diving deep in 2023.
