Here is a full sized chef's knife that I made from ultra light, super strong and rust proof Titanium. It weighs in at only 92 grams or a little over 3 ounces! The black micarta handle has huge flared Titanium tubing for a super solid and lightweight handle that is very securely attached.
This one has a blended grind that helps prevent food from sticking to the blade and makes slicing easier. It is ground on one side and has 70-80 Rockwell Tungsten Carbide applied to the other side for edge retention. This makes sharpening easier and the food falls off to the right side. The finish is satin with a polished edge.
It is a foot long with a 7" blade and a 5" handle with the scales making up 4.5" of the handle. There is plenty of knuckle room under the handle for chopping. The blade is .070" thick. The center of balance is just forward of the index finger, it feels very fast in the hand.
Materials used:
.070" thick carbidized Ti
Black Micarta and huge Ti flared tube
Handmade in the USA!
