Works in Progress

[pennman]

I donated this 14” CTS-XHP brisket knife to Southern smoke foundation to auction. Chris Shepherd started it 5 years ago. Chris was the first chef to buy one of my knives. Now he has three. This year $547k was raised. Ate an insane amount of awesome food and met some awesome chefs.

Discussing with Chris Cosentino what knife he wants.

Final bid!!!

A few EDC blades I make. Left is S110V, next is stainless San mai CPM 10V, scalpel is CPM M4, and eight is San mai CPM 10V. Yes, the scalpel is my every day knife.

220mm CPM 20CV with bloodwood handle

250-ish CPM M4 blade with carbon fiber and c-tek handle.

Thank you. It’s been a while, but I’m diving back into the list of people waiting on knives.

how much?

The two autopsy slicers are 14-1/4” blades and the tanto slicers are 15” blades. All CTS-XHP. Only the left tanto slicer is available and I think I’ll be doing an auction for it. Still have to clean up blades, imprint, sharpen, and sayas.

240x54mm CPM S45VN (not S35VN) gyuto with box elder Burl and ebony bolsters.

Nice work! Autopsy or brisket? As my 4 year old says, it’s all meat.

Thanks! Just a regular gyuto with a new type of steel. Highly corrosion resistant. Want to see what type of edge holding it has compared to XHP and CPM 154CM.

Congratulations! Aren’t you afraid of being shunned by the rest of this community?

 

[inferno]

no, not really

i just build what i think looks cool. and if it happens to be cf, so be it.

That’s my preferred grind. But I can do any type the customer requests. Hollow, S, Fuller, convex (various degrees), workhorse, etc. It’s not that difficult.

Repeating for emphasis
"It's not that difficult"
A relative term, perhaps?

Super fun browsing this thread. Don't know why I waited so long.
