Fillet Knife

Discussion in 'JJ Simon's Stubborn Excellence Forge' started by JJ Simon, Oct 6, 2016.

  1. I just finished this knife.
    1095 steel with corian handle and bronze pins.
    its a 12" knife approximately a 7" blade.
    Mustard finish on the blade.

    Looks great JJ. I'd love to hear about how it was made.
     
  3. Its a ground blade.
    My first boning/fillet style. So I ground it.
    The next set I will forge.
    I ground it from 3/16 piece of 1095.
    It was heat treated before beveling.
    Ground to zero edge and then machine finished.
    The handles are corian, the first time I've used it.
    I figure its great for kitchen knives since its going to imitate a counter.
    The handle is finished to320 and then buffed with scratch-less compound.
    The blade was then treated with yellow mustard until it patinas.
    Any other questions feel free.

  5. Just had a friend of mine who was trained at the CIA and has been in food service for 33 years do a run through with the fillet knife and two other chefs knives.
    He said "The sharpest knife I have ever touched"
    The Fillet knife he used to remove silver skin from a pork loin and he was able to take pieces off that had no meat on them, just the skin.
    I have video of the chefs knives and will try to post them on youtube.
