This AEB-L stuff is just pure-dee-o awesomeness!!! Seriously, a stainless that behaves like carbon? And it's been around HOW long with the razor industry? Raaaaaazors
Speaking of razors, I have a beautiful kitchen knife in this great steel to offer you. (Did he just compliment his own work? The balls on that guy)

First, let's get the specs down...

Overall length: 9.7436812" (What did he use to measure that thing with anyway?)
Blade length: 5 5/16" (Geez, now he switched to fractions? At least it's still in inches)
Handle lenght: 9.7436812"-5 5/16". (We're supposed to subtract?) Oh, ok.....about 4 1/2" (Now we have estimations???? :grumpy:)
Spine thickness: 1.778mm (metric....we knew he'd go there)
Heat Treatment: Cryo treated by Peter's Heat Treating to 61.5 RC. (Thank goodness they did it. He'd of probably treated it like 1084)

There is a nice gentle taper from the handle to a sharp point.
The edge was taken down to ~0.007" before sharpening.
30 degree total edge sharpened on water stones to 8000 grit.
The handle is stabilized walnut sanded to 800 grit and the blade finish is a true 600 grit finish.

This is NOT a knife for going thru bones or frozen food. You'll know that the moment you pick it up! It is ground VERY thin. Thin is in! There is some flex to the blade, just right tho.

And now for the pics. If ONLY I had as much fun taking the photos as I did making the thing! Not an easy thing to do, photographing knives! (Sure it is, you just don't have a clue as to what you're doing. Just ask Matt G about how this guy is clueless)

Now some of you are certainly scratching your heads (Nick.....stop scratching :stupid:) as to why there is not a maker's mark on this knife. Well, my story is that I am in BETWEEN maker's marks right now, and I'm sticking to it.

Yes, you too can have this knife for the low low price of SOLD !!! And that includes shipping anywhere in the continental US!!! What a steel steal!!

Very, very interesting design and steel choice. If I were in the market for a kitchen knife this would be perfect. And I too like its clean look.
 
PS> I've known Stuart since he was in diapers. He got out of them last week. When he gets back into them, DEPENDS.
 
Don't listen to John. He's in the mob. He could tell you call kinds of other stories about me, but then he'd have to kill you!:unconscious:



(Just kidding. John is not in LCN. He's with the NSA)

once you get your foot in the kitchen door the sailing is much smoother. but like any other market it can take a bit of time.
 
I'm totally astonished this knife is still here. Hell, I'd buy it just for the damn walnut!!!!

Clean work, my friend.
 
matt blade forums as big as they are are kind of short on chefs or othre heavy kitchen users but the kitchen knife places are rather restrictive about who sells what.
 
I like this knife.
However I miss Makers Mark (That is important!)
And I would like some spine shots, and some more handle shots :)

The profile is absolutely right up my alley :)
The length is good as well.
 
Shaw, you have me pegged. I had picked out the "S" from Sepultura as a makers mark, and have used it on several knives. I had Ernie make me a few stencils with that "S", and it does look SWEET IMHO. However, there is probably some sort of legal issue using it as my mark. I don't think Max Cavalera would care, even if he found out, but I have since come up with a different mark. A set of elk antlers with SDK in the middle (Stuart Davenport Knives). I have yet to contact Ernie about the new logo, however.

Oivind_dahle.......I will be glad to get some more photos up for you. Spine and handle, huh? No problem. Today is raining, and cloud cover is thick. I'll get more photos posted ASAP. And if you'd like, I can put the "S" on the knife. It does look cool!!!
