Who makes some good chisel ground knives?

Infi-del · Jun 9, 2009

Looking for a chisel ground knife in the 6" range in the neighboorhood of 3/16" to 1/4" thick. I can't really afford Hartsfield or the like. Just something under $400.00. Would like to keep it under $200.00 really but I'm not beyond paying for quality. I single out Hartsfield cause his fixed blades are like over a grand I think LOL... can't swing that right now. So I would appreciate suggestions about who offers quality blades with this edge geometry.

I was going to mention Emerson, but it seems like you're looking for some really thick, long blades. Have you checked around ragweedforge? Seems like a traditional woodworking knife would suit your needs. Not sure if they're all scandi grinds, but it's worth a look.

I'm sure you could get a custom for that. Check the makers around here.

I don't like that grind in any way shape or form.

And that's ok.

It doesn't mean nobody else likes it.

There are many knifemakers here that could take on the job of making a thick chisel ground knife, but they most like will be over $200. I was going to mention emerson but they may be too thin for your liking.
