Two new ones for the kitchen

[Doug Lester]

Here are two new knives that I made a few weeks ago. Both are from 52100 with black and tan G10 handles held one with cutler's rivets. They were polished out wth a satin finish. They've both been in use for a bit and have started to develope a patina.

The Chef's knife is about 12" OAL and a 7" blade 1 3/8" wide and 1/8" thick at the handle. It skins salmon fillets real well.

The little cleaver has an OAL of 7" with a 3 3/4" long, 2 1/8" wide blade that is also 1/8" thick. I wish that I had made it maybe 3/4-1" longer but it still does a real good job chopping veggies for the soup.

Beautiful knives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are the handles made from micarta or dymond wood ? My next project is to also do a Kitchen knife I am going to put Corian handles to see how they come out.

I like those. That cleaver looks neat

Craig, the material is G10 which is like Micarta except the matrix is fiber glass instead of paper or cloth.
