Very interesting. How are you liking 52100 as compared 1095 and W2.
Earlier in this thread I mentioned I can't use a shallow hardening steel on this grind, so it ruled out W2 and 1095 for these particular knives.Very interesting. How are you liking 52100 as compared 1095 and W2.
Yes, fair enough. I shall live…The passaround will be organised through his end, and I highly doubt he would appreciate me sending his knife on a quick detour to someone else before he gets to hold it!

I have a Kip Hook Grind (I keep wanting to say "Trick Pony") in 52100 and a laser in 1095. Both are easy to sharpen, have a silky feel on the stones and take as sharp an edge as I can produce. I haven't sharpened them side by side but my impression is that thay are similar on the stones. The 52100 edge certainly seems to last a little longer and it doesn't patina as much.Earlier in this thread I mentioned I can't use a shallow hardening steel on this grind, so it ruled out W2 and 1095 for these particular knives.
I do like 52100 though. I don't get to try my own knives much as I'm backlogged on making them for other people!
Or you could commission one [emoji16]Yes, fair enough. I shall live…
The germans are much much nicer and kinder and even respectfully writing than what one might get the image of at first.
Google Translate does a pretty good job I think. I'm not sure if the following link will work properly for everyone, but it's worth a try.

Very interesting idea.
It seems to work fairly well. But I can't get over how butt-ugly that knife is…I saw Mark Militello use a knife with holes and a ridge to slice cucumbers on "In Julia's Kitchen with Master Chefs" in the 1990s.
She asked him about it and he liked it for food release.
It looked similar to the Wusthof Ridge knife.
You'll have to call yours 'the original hook grind" nowUh-oh...
It seems another maker has found this thread, he even calls it a hook grind.
Nah it wouldn't make sense unless you do your cuts holding the knife with both hands haha.Kipp, have you made a double hook yet?
