[Dave Martell]

Looking good Del! :thumbsup:

So Del, have you used it? What do you think?

 

[mhlee]

Actually, that is where it is supposed to be, I have made a few that have been a bit longer, as a balance issue.

Del:

Looks great! BTW - where is the balance point on these knives?

 

[El Pescador]

I know you were finishing up another knife today, any more pics?

Right at the heel.

Del, I was lucky enough to use the passaround last night and love the handle design. With my eyes closed I couldn't find the transition between the bolsters and the main handle wood. With the new profile you have a great knife. I'm really excited to hold one of these knives. And at this price point they are a tremendous value.

I love that profile, would love one of these knives in my kitchen.

#2 maple bolster and redwood burl :viking:

 

[Mike Davis]

I got to see these first hand today...Man are they nice! They have such a great, balanced feel in the hand...

 

[El Pescador]

This knife is great looking.

 

[SpikeC]

Looks nice, butt the pin isn't aligned perfectly!

Of course it is aligned perfectly, it points to the exact place on the edge that is perfect for mincing garlic.

[WildBoar]

Del, it really looks like you have knocked out a winner there!

[JMJones]

Very nice!

Del are we still on track to do these out of AEB-L at the $430 price range? I haven't seen anything about these recently.

I am aiming to start these in the beginning of next week, now that someone closed the door to hell, I can finish a bit of damascus.

[El Pescador]

That handle has a birthmark. Sexy as hell...

Hot dang these knives look gorgeous. I can't wait to see some reviews on how the new profile performs.

Add 90%+ humidity and you have an August party in the Tampa bay area.
