Hi Folks I wanted to show you the first knife from a new project I have started with knife maker Mark Maumasi and I think there will be many more. Mark is not a new maker he worked for a very well know kitchen knife maker for a couple of years learning his craft. Mark came to me and ask if I had a job for him and I said nope but I do have a school right next to my blacksmith shop that sits empty 4 to 5 days a week at lest . so Mark has been coming in on his day off from his job as a baker and working on this knife it is his first integral so I had to show him a few tricks but he picked it up very fast as the man has mad skills. now on this knife as we wanted to get going he used a damascus blade that I had made already so my name is on the other said on this one . on the next ones Mark will be making the damascus as well. he picked Maumasi Fire arts as his mark. now he is thinking about leaving his baking job and making kitchen knives 4 or 5 days a week I hope he dose. Now the pics as you will see are not mine these are very nice thanks to a friend of mine and budding knife maker Al Ten . Al came by my shop and took pics of three of my knives Thanks Al._MG_6685_MD.jpg_MG_6679_MD.jpg_MG_6664_MD.jpg_MG_6658_MD.jpg
 
I love it, thanks for sharing David. The profile looks to be heavily inspired by classic Sabatier's, very nice.
 
"J'aime", To see this type of knives confirms me in the idea of my project with Sam....
 
That looks great! If he keeps making them like that I'm sure he'll do very well
 
USA, France and Italy have already commented. You are world renowned. Nice work David.
 
Really, really nice. Shows the Rader/Lisch heritage, but is different enough to be its own thing. Very nice.
 
Thank you all Mark has great design skills I cant wait to see what he dose when he forges the blade himself this time he had to work his design around a blade I forged but he did change the profile a good bit. to fit his vision next one he will be forging to shape
 
Posting pics directly into the thread (per David's request).

@ Bruce, Bruce, the word "kitchen" switch on a small red light for some French people.... A Big one for Kitchen & knives ...

"Merci" for the XL pictures...
 
Not sure how I missed this before...

I like the overall shape of the blade and handle alot

goes without saying that the steel is awesome - great job all around
