This is what I have so far with a few more being made.

Before using good kitchen knives I had no idea what I was missing.
When my wife asked about using them I told her you all have to do is aim them, the knife does the rest.

These 2 photos show my "practice" magnetic knife block and sayas.
I have figured out most of the ways to do things wrong when making these.
Next I will try to make some the right way.

Yeah that knife rack is awsome. One of most unique ones I've seen.
 
Very nice set - but who is Stacy Apelt? Did I miss something?

All great stuff, Mark! Quit while you're ahead, and still have money. ;)

That rack is pretty awesome!
 
What's with the Pinocchio handle on the Apelt? :eyebrow:
Stacy is one of the Mods on another forum.
He offered to make me a knife and asked it it was OK to experiment a bit.
The photo might look odd but the knife gets used a lot and I enjoy it.
 
That rack is pretty awesome! I am interested in buying some knife. Will not mind if you provide me some details about the knife and it's price. let me Know soon.

you should take look Buy/Sell/Trade section. there are lots good deal right now!!:laugh:
 
Looks like youre off to a great start. Sayas arent my thing, but yours are looking good.

And yeah, that has to be the coolest mag strip ever.
 
I am surprised at how many like the magnetic rack.
I made it pretty short because of wall space where it is mounted.
It is already too small. I will have to try to find a similar piece and make another to mount it on the wall above this one to hold the growing knife collection.
 
My Nakiri from Butch arrived today. WOW!
Looking at photos is one thing, but holding it in hand gives a totally different perspective.
I have never used a Nakiri before but I am sure I will enjoy this.

There was no way this could get damaged in shipping, even if they played football with the package.

Now to make a saya for this beauty.
 
Wow, Mark! I know what you mean with these knives! Was that a custom?

I provided the handle materials and told Butch I wanted a Nakiri. This is what he made.
I tried it out last night. It's a vegetable chopping machine. All you have to do is aim and keep your fingers out of the way.
Lots of fun using this.
 
Great stuff, Mark! You have a great knife, there.
