Title: An 8" and 5" chef
Post by: srtben on December 23, 2013, 06:14:00 PM
Here are a couple chefs I finished up that I haven't had a chance to share yet. These are both done in 14c28n stainless. The 8" chef has some of my stabilized Oregon maple burl, and the 5" one has some of my stabilized Bastogne walnut with a nice feathery figure. I gave the walnut one a stonewashed finish on the blade, a first for a kitchen knife for me.
These are both .098 a the spine and ground to very thin edge.

I really like your chef knives, especially the 5". Great work.

Really nice looking knives. My son has been asking me to make one for him. Maybe I'll give it a try.

Those are sweet! The top one would be perfect for slicing up my brother-in-laws smoked brisket!
