Sabatier, re imagined

This is a knife I have done recently , just had time to post it . I have always liked the looks of rustic vintage sabatier's but couldn't see my self pay what they are sold for on eBay , plus I have never been a rehandle or rehab kind of guy anyway .One of the first knives I made was a sabatier conversion to a hidden tang and by removing the bolster I actually liked the profile everyone was raving about for the years , I figured shorter ones would make great line knives . Since I gave my line knife away I wanted to do my version of sabatier with some slight modifications but keeping most of what I like intact .




















I have chosen takefu San mai sumingashi for the steel , hand forged and water quenched . I have used nickel bolsters with cooper accents . Handle is 3400years old bog oak and I have made it slimmer compared to my usual western handles resembling more hidden tang sabatier handles . It is 20cm on the edge and 42mm tall , slight asymetric ground for right handed user ,thanks for looking ,
Mert

 

Spectacular ! Are you keeping this guy for yourself??

 

Yes I am

 

That is one good looking knife

 

Very good.

 

I think that might be my favorite yet. Simple elegance at its finest.

 

MY GOODNESS!!! :cool1

 

Home run right there!

 

Wow, that's great!

 

Love it, Mert. Very clean. I can almost feel it in my hand just looking at it. Are you planning to make more?

 

Thank you for the feedback

 

Thanks Rick ,
I plan on offering this profile if there is a demand for it

 

I like everything about that. That is my favorite handle I've seen you do. Great job!

 

Thank you Andre

 

When saw the title I thought blehhhh yeah another haunted cook, but upon entering got stunned. An absolute thrill Mert.

Well done
