This...this is a knoife!
    #21698459 - 05/19/15 01:36 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

An awesome local from my area (completely in the middle of nowhere) finally finished my knife today.  A full tang high carbon 8 inch behemoth of a santoku knife with brass rivets.  Never used an 8 inch santoku before so I was curious.  He was in a rush yesterday so I never got the steel specs or wood species.  I'll update soon.  An absolute beauty of a knife.  It reminds me of a simpler time when products were made honest.  This will be a knife my kid's grandkids will still be using one day.



Overall feel?
while amazing and hypnotic to look at it did have a few downfalls.  It's a little clumsy feeling and with a convex edge geometry I found it had a hard time catching foods where I wanted it to.  The thickness of the spine also made the knife a more obtusive wedge making it hard to get through delicate or hardy veggies.  This knife is definitely going to be for quick rough chops where neatness is not required. Now I can't wait to make stock.:awesomenod:

Looks good to me..  I like the rustic look and I appreciate the effort that went into this..

I recently started putting handles on knife blanks that I buy online.  Here are some kitchen knives that Im finishing up with buckeye burl natural wood handles.



I will have more for sale soon... :wink:

Why is it all pitted? It looks like the guy found it with a metal detector in his yard, I wouldn't pay more than 15$ for it. :thatsayes:
