I will be designing a series of carbon steel butcher knives in O1, with throw back profiles and handles.
This is an opinion thread, not so much as a design thread. I will be designing 5 pieces, in O1, bolsterless, nice wood handles, and simple pins. These will be cost effective (read affordable to damn near everybody) I am not looking to turn big profit on these, so they are going to be attractive to a broad group of users.
My thoughts are:
1. Bull nose butcher
2. Scimitar
3. Boning
4. Chef
5. Fillet
6. Maybe a utility/petty
I would like to know what you would like to see, in terms of general length, height, spine thickness, maybe geometry.
So, lets have it... What are your thoughts?
