This holiday I finally had time finishing some projects that had been going for about a year to a year and a half. From left to right:
Petty: 2x? 440C stock removal, handle is cherry with blue linnen micarta tang extension spacer. Symmetrical. Idea: just shallow enough for in-hand cutting, just enough clearance for some minor board work, hence the thin handle.
Short rocker chef: C75, forged during a forging class. Left handed assymetry. Burned in ashwood handle. Burnt on front part for an 'apparent ferrule' effect. Idea: make something usefull from whatever I was able to forge in the 90 minutes allowed.
Chef with finger rest: 40x4.3 O2 stock removal. Left handed assymmetry. Purplewood handle and cherrywood tang extension spacer. Idea: chef knife with some pronounced curves and a little 'swing'. Handle is inspired by the upsweeping Wusthof handle on the Ikon and Grand Prix 2 series. Upon completion the handle looks way too big for the blade but the balance is just right, not sure if or what to change.
I'm not going to make a list of things to do better/different next time as the list is just too long this being the first time.
Thanks for watching.
