Title: Chef's/Camp knife
Post by: Rusty Snuffers on September 24, 2011, 08:38:00 PM

Here's the one I did for my wife. Blade is from Jantz, handle is stabilized buckeye burl. Photos just don't do this one justice. At least MY photos don't...

The blade has a mirror finish so the colors are actually a reflection of the sky.

Thanks for looking

That's a pretty job. Your gettin some great practice for when you start forging your blades. That's a smart thing to be doing. Nice work.

That is nice!

I'm working on a chef's knife with a Micarta handle.

You're doing great and Lin's right-handles can be tough and you're already getting great practice for when you begin forging. I'm sure your wife will love using the knife, good job.

Thanks, Jeremy. She actually used it for the first time today and loves it.
