8" Chef, fun and unique profile, w2 steel - SOLD!

[timos]

I call this one my "Smashmouth" model.
The blade is 1/8" thick W2 steel at RC 63 heat treated by Peters.
8" of edge and 2.5" high at the heel. The edge geometry is a gentle convex from spine to edge. about .007 thick behind the edge itself. There is also a full distal taper allowing for a very fine tip. Both spine and choil are rounded. Horizontal cuts in onions will be a revelation.
I forced a patina with mustard to get the process going.

The handle is my dove tailed frame handle. It features maple burl scales and a king wood frame. Accents are musk ox and mosaic pin.
I was originally asking $850 for this in Chicago but considering the finish got some weird marring and I ended up using the piece I have lowered price to $650 or $750 with a curly maple saya. Please allow a week or two for me to finish saya. Payment can be made through paypal or check by mail.

Thanks all

Of all the blades Iv'e done none has had such a ring to it, a little flick and this thing sounds like a tuning fork.

Hey all, Ill do $500 on this one with the caveat that I get some good feedback from the buyer to help me develop the next version. Ill throw in a curly maple saya as well.
That is the absolute lowest I can go considering the amount of time I have in this as well as the fact it is such a bada$$ blade! PM me if interested!

Damn I wanted to try this baby out.
I absolutely love the grinds and tips that Tim puts on his knives. And this one really spoke to me.
Can't wait to see the new one.
Congrats to the new owner. You scored
