Here is a commissioned knife I just delivery to the happy customer.
DSCN5512.jpg

This is a 6 1/4" Santoku with 3/32" CPM-154 RC 60 with relief holes in the blade to help keep food from sticking and my pinch grip butterfly.

The relief holes are countersunk by 90 degrees and the handle material is a stabilized Banksia pod from ankromexotics.com

With the holes and the seed pod spots I have nick named it the Holy of Hole lees! LOL :biggrin: The customer was very happy and ordered a set of steak knives with Koa wood. I will post those as soon as they are finished.

Comments and questions are always welcome. Thanks for looking.

You know, of all the custom kitchen knives I see, I think I like your designs the most Laurence. I'd definitely love to try one day.

BTW... I've always been curious: How do you make your Rhino pins?

I like that banksia but what are the blue bits? The holes are usually full of black stuff.

Liam,
They fill them with different colors of Acrylic during the stabilization process. This Sky blue color really pops out at you! There is a Teal green, etc.

Andrew,
Well, thank you for the kind words. I have a friend that's a engineer that cad cam drew the rhino head off of my logo and and has the rhino head EDM cut out of a stainless steel. I then fit the Rhino head pin into a brass or stainless tube with a correct size hole in the middle and fill with black epoxy. It ends up costing me about $40.00 per inch! :53:
 
Very nice kitchen chopper and chock full o' features. Like the 154 CM with the holes you do- very efficient design - and the banksia is super.
 
Ausbrooks,
Thanks. I call and order the Banksia scales done in the colors I want.
They ship them out in a couple of weeks so I usually have a set or two around to show to customers in my, Pick a Handle wood box"

I went nuts drilling all of those holes in stainless :lol: so I started getting my patterns water jet cut to my specs with the relief & pinch grips holes in them so I only have to bevel grind HT & chamfer the holes with a 90 degree 1" Carbide countersink.
