8" Chef's Knife Coming Out of The Shop

[aknifemaker]

Just finished this 8" Chef's knife for one of my neighbors I think they will be happy.

The steel is Damasteel RWL-34 stainless. Knife is 13 1/2" long, 2" wide blade and.100 of an inch thick. Tempered to 58-59Rc. Razor sharp edge, used it last night to chop up some veggies for dinner. I have to make sure it cuts! Handle is double black Micarta, nicely shaped to fit the hand, should last forever. Knife case is kydex.

Just started some hunting knives, will have a few for sale on the forum. Season will be here soon.

All work done by me in my shop, as always.

Good looking blade

That looks quite nice.  Add in a small and medium paring knife, and a good block...that would make a great gift set.

That's a good idea. A paring knife is what led to this chef's knife actually. My neighbor helped me out a bunch of times and he likes to cook and mentioned he needs a good paring knife so I made one as a gift. He liked it so much he commissioned this chef's knife from me.

For several years I was making Carving sets, sold some around the holidays. 

Thanks for all the kind comments.
