Re: 2017 Customs and WIP stuff
Hi Jason,
This one is only about halfway ground. I can put what ever edge geometry on it you would like. edit to add: any edge geometry as long as its a 50/50 symmetrical grind.
Originally I had planned this to be an "allium assasin" of sorts, so i plan to grind as thin a tip as I possibly can. You could let me kow your intended use and I will grind to suit.

Re: 2017 Customs and WIP stuff
Thanks Jeff, this one has some amazing african blackwood as the handle frame...some dark brown and black layers with a iridescent tinge...really impossible to photograph, and then the copper spacers have a jet black g10 in between, I am very happy with this combo

Re: 2017 Customs and WIP stuff
Thanks for the compliments all!
Finished out the first of 10 parers I have...These things are pretty slick, this is crucible S35VN steel, makes a great utility knife in a high wear stainless.

Re: 2017 Customs and WIP stuff
Good looking parer Tim. I'm a big fan of s35vn, I have a gyuto in that steel from pre-crazy Shaun and it's a great knife.
If God wanted me to be a vegetarian he wouldn't have made animals taste so good.

Re: 2017 Customs and WIP stuff
Still need to refine the lines a bit where the blade meets the handle...this one is almost done. This is a Sabatier edge profile with about 50mm height at the heel. steel is Devin Thomas SS damascus.
Handle is a western shape but with an emoto area more like what you would find with a Wa style. Very nice pinch grip...the balance is a bit forward of the heel.
