3.5" Parer/Utility Knife Sign Up Sheet

Guys,
I will make 10 of these, in both standard and premium materials. AEB-L.

It's going to be pretty stiff, thin at the edge, convex ground knife. Can be used as a parer, or as utility (de-bone a chicken, do some minor cutting on a board).

The cost per standard version is $150 and for a premium version (premium woods, mokume) is $200.

This batch is all octagonal handles.

If interested, reserve your name on the list.

Marko

PS: I am still tweaking a prototype below, but there won't be major changes.

Please count me in.

I am going to do the octagonal 3.5" first and western 2.5" after. Pricing won't be much different for these, as it is almost as much work for 2.5" as for 3.5".

9 are still available in 3.5"

Please count me in

Three of the ten spots are taken, plus two spots are reserved for stainless damascus blades , so only five are remaining.

Looks great, but I'll wait for the western

I'm curious Marko, do you have stainless damascus on hand which can be added as an upgrade; or would we need to purchase damascus directly from Devin and have it sent to you?

I will have the damascus blank on hand. I don't know what pattern that would be yet, though.

Marko

Thank you for the clarification.
In that case, can I change to stainless damascus?

yes))

I'd be keen for a 3.5 with mokume and lignum vitae.....

Just for curiosity which will be the price of the damascus? I sent you a PM for the payment

Damascus version will cost $350 and the price will include mokume tip and premium wood (AA+ grade).

The possible patterns are bubblewrap, raindrop, ladder, snakeskin

Did you receive my pm?

Will there be Damascus option for western handle batch as well?

Count me in for a standard, please.

There will be, but for 2.5" parer, probably 2-3 pieces, akin to the one I posted a couple of month ago. The mokume guard will have radius ground in, same as the parer in the picture above.

Upon seeing this I'm going to have to withdraw from this version and wait for the western batch.

OK, to make it easier, I will make some Western and some Wa, in 3.5" length. Western will also have an angled tip.



I am also considering grinding radiuses in the guard on the octagonal handle. I think they offer a better transition (more natural) from pinch to handle grip.

I like the idea of radius on the octagon one

That looks great!

There is a little bit of a distortion in the picture. I will try to take better pictures today. Blade in the relation to the handle looks much narrower.

Marko

Here is the radius on the octagonal handle. I like how it looks and feels.

Throw in highly figured premium wood and aged mokume guards, and you will know what I am talking about)))

Expect to see larger knives with the same features.

ugh, must resist and hold out for 2.5 western!!!

Please put me down for a one if still available

Any update on this?

Also curious if there is any update here.

I will start on these in the first week of October. I will do 2.5 and 3.5", wa and western.
