Title: Some new kitchen knives
Post by: srtben on May 15, 2014, 09:08:00 PM

I just finished these up and figured I would share them. They have nice hammered texture flats and are flat ground into a very fine edge. The blades are 15n20 and are extremely sharp. One has some really nice dark figured Ironwood and the other is a very nice honey color that really glows in the light. If you know Ironwood, you know it looks way better in person than my pictures show.

The pins are my composite copper/carbon fiber style and add really nice contrast on the handle.

I made one of these models for my kitchen, and it gets used more than any other knife. It is great size for most everything.

This one is a new model for me, sort of a chubby petty knife. I did my honeycomb texture on the nice cocobolo handle scales. It has a really cool feel to it.

Great looking Ben! How do they look with your other kitchen knives on the magnetic knife board?

Thanks. I am sure they would look good, but I need to sell them. : )
