What's on my Bench Today?

Are you kidding me!!! OMG! DARN SEXY!!!

 

Thanks man...its appreciated!

What do you think of this?


300mmx40mm suji for @Dinsdale .

 

UMMMMMM...... holy !@#$%^&*...... Now that's a knife. I could have A LOT of fun with that bad boy!

 

Looking sharp as ever here Cris!

 

Here's a quick video so you can see some of the actual activity in it:

 

Can not wait to cut with one of your masterpieces.

 

Come on pass around!!!

 

Lol...I'm going to be picking up some bulk vegetables and proteins to partition for dinners over the next month or so. Going to give it a GOOD solid workout....then it'll be sent out to you guys . Shouldn't be more than a week or so!

 

surprised to see you so hesitant to send it out to us after you have sold some pieces for so much money. i guess an artist will always doubt his own work. at least i know i do.

 

I'm not sure what you mean Brad. I'm not hesitant...its just a slightly different grind than my typical one...and I want to see how it feels in use for myself.

I think there was a compliment in there though...so thanks .

 

That is looking really nice, really curious how it looks live

 

As far as the blades go...live they are just nuts. Pictures just don't do them justice at all.

Here's a few anyways though .


300x40 suji (this one is getting something rather special for the handle...stay tuned ), 280x41 suji (just got a @mkriggen handle in the mail today for it!), 270x49 gyuto-hiki (not sold yet so no handle plans), and a 150 petty/utility!


150 petty/utility. Straight 'sugaha' hamon with a little fun on the nose. A lot of people have asked me about a more regular hamon without any flare or craziness...and this is it.


270 gyuto-hiki. This is basically gyuto on the heel, wish a more suji like belly (meaning, none at all...it's 80% flat) with a very low tip. This makes the blade narrower in profile down the length. Some people love them...others not so much. I think they're fun, but I like them shorter personally.


280 suji. This one's getting a Manu handle .


300 suji. I'm thinking...bog oak, blue mammoth tooth, nickel silver...and...oosic? Hmm...!

 

It just never stops!!!

 

That 300 suji is getting a new handle design as well...that I think you're going to love my friend! Not like anything I've made before .

 

You never cease to amaze, my friend!

 

Looking forward to seeing it

 

I have a prototype I'm working on right now. As soon as that's finished I'll get you some pictures of it and you can tell me what you think .

 

??? PROTOTYPE ??? Yea buddy, can't wait!

 

if its anywhere near the beauty of the blade, its going to be spectacular. Ive got a couple of catered bbq's i'm doing this spring and its going to be my slicer of choice for the brisket. Gotta look good and what better way to dress up a bbq then puttin on some bling

 

One thing I keep forgetting to ask, are you thinking about a saya or some kind of sheath?
