OK during the process of dabbling & making Christmas gifts,these two were born.
Jantz has the blades under the fillet category. Now I feel you could definitely use these as a fillet for small stuff like trout or the like,but up here for big striperes & such,these would be too delicate. But,this would be a great kitchen knife,tomatoe attack blade. It is 440C ss,and thin ! less than 1/16" thick. Tips flex.They have a very high polish on them I hope the owners clean them every day with a scotch brite pad & put your own character mark on them. They are made for using ,not collecting dust.
On the scales,I used black walnut & curly myrtelwood. It is not stabilized but has an oil finish. I have knives over 100 years old that have handles of un stabilized wood. They get washed & dryed,put away. No problems. I like the grippy feel the wood gives you if it has no slick sealer on it. Especially when you break apart a baked chicken with this,or carve a pork roast. The handles will provide grip with food grease on them.
Size is 10-3/8" OAL ,6" blades,with 5.5" cutting edge
Either knife is $65.
The myrtlewood I'd ask $75. but there is a small mark on the blade where I hit it on the belt somehow it got through the tape,its tiny,no biggy.
So either is $65. shipped Con U.S.
Paypal fee included
