Hi Folks!
It's been a while - I have a few new kitchen knives that I've finished up in the last month or two and have finally got around to taking some photos
First up is the big boy of my new SpeedLine series...
The SpeedLine 8.5" Chef - a full sized, general purpose knife for the kitchen.
With a generous, rounded handle, a rounded spine and finger guard/choil - this knife can be used all day. Brass Corby bolts front and back of the handle and carbon fibre pins in the centre. The handle is in a mustard colored Jute Micarta. The balance point of this knife is neutral - the front of the handle, at the finger guard/choil.
A no-nonsense kitchen tool that looks the part and will last a lifetime!
- Blade thickness: at handle - 2.6mm (0.1"), 1" from the tip - 1.3mm (0.05")
- Blade length: 212mm (8.4")
- Overall length: 333mm (13.1")
- Blade height (at heel): 49mm (1.9")
- Weight: 218g (7.7oz)
- Balance point: front of handle/choil
- Handle material: Jute Micarta with black Micarta liner. Brass Corby bolts and Carbon Fibre pins.
