Two New Ones

[Don Carlos Andrade]

I designed these for a good friend of mine who is a chef in upstate NY.

They were designed as "Shallot Knives", but will do many tasks in the kitchen.

These were both forged to shape from .125"-thick 1095 high carbon tool steel. The overall lengths are 10.75" on the top knife in Kingwood and 10.50" on the bottom one in exhibition grade Desert Ironwood. The blades are 5&5/8" and 5.75" respectively.

I hope you enjoy the images.

Look great, Don!
Excellent detail on the scales, and I find the pin layout (1,2,3) very pleasing; sort of accentuates taper effect.

How did you create the upswept visual effect on the blades, if you don't mind me asking?
