Hello All, I tried a bunch of new stuff out with this blade. I attempted to get as close as I could to full convex geometry on the blade faces, this was also my first time using straight laminated Wolfram Special and low carbon steel, a finger stone kasumi, as well as cocobolo for the handle...

Hello All, This knife was originally a 250mm honyaki, and during the straightening process it decided it wanted to become a 185mm blade...so...here we are. I wasn't thrilled with the quality of the hamon, so I didn't bother doing any fine hand finishing, but there is indeed a hamon and this is...

Hello All, Last one of the latest batch Blade: 216mmx52mm MagnaCut (63hrc) medium belt finish Neck: 20mmx19mm Handle: Birdseye maple and bocote, oil finished and waxed POB: 32mm from the handle Spine: 2.54mm at the handle, 2.26mm at halfway, .33mm 1cm from the tip Grind: flat to convex...

Hello All, I finished up a batch of MagnaCut knives yesterday all roughly the same size, here's #1 Blade: 217mmx55mm MagnaCut (63hrc) medium belt finish Neck: 20mmx18mm Handle: Birdseye maple and walnut, oil finished and waxed POB: 32mm from the handle Spine: 2.5mm at the handle, 2.12mm...

Hello All, Last year a customer asked for a clone of his KS but in hard 52100. I still had the pattern lying around and a different client asked for a honyaki KS copy, so I got to thinking maybe just maybe this would stir up a little interest. Dimensions and flats copied from a genuine KS so...

Hello All, Here's a rare one. I mistakenly cut this knife for a hidden tang, when the customer wanted a full tang. As a result, I now have a spare cleaver to offer. As of yet uncut/unset neck length and so on. Buyer's choice of handle. Not much taper at the spine, the weight reflects that. It...

Hello All, One of my many areas of interest as a bladesmith is high alloy san-mai. The construction method can make difficult steels to work with somewhat less challenging for me, as well as more aesthetically pleasing for my customers. Around the holidays I completed a stainless clad 10v...

Hello All, This knife was formerly a full custom but owing to a rare crack forming in the quench, I had to make a shorter knife. This blade has more of a European/German profile than any I have made in a while with a high tip, a flat length of only 45mm near the heel, and a Denka inspired...

Hello All, I don't habitually make rectangles outside of customs, but this year I've made a couple that I'll be listing this month as I know ARM has a reasonable number of followers. The first is this nakiri. It's not light at 169g without the handle. I designed this blade to have some...

Hello All, I've recently taken an interest in alloy banding so just to see what there is organically I made this gyuto and gave it an etch. As you can see it's quite extensive and more prominent where the grind is deepest. This knife will serve as the basis for some with perhaps more energetic...

For the bladesmiths.... This is a bar of 304SS clad Wolfram Special I made a few months ago. There is a nickel layer between the core and cladding, so I guess it's really go-mai, but notwithstanding. There's approximately 14" of useable material in the bar that is 55mm wide at its widest, and...

The #2 MagnaCut gyuto I finished up a couple days ago Blade: 222mmx56mm MagnaCut (63 hrc) belt finish Neck: 21mmx15mm Handle: Bocote and walnut, oil finished and waxed POB: 27mm from the handle Spine: 2.63mm at the handle, 2.41mm at halfway, .51mm 1cm from the tip Grind: flat to convex...

Hello All, I meant to get this one out last week but ended up catching a cold, but better late than never. It's thin, lasery, and should be a good little performer. Blade: 214mmx52mm MagnaCut (63 hrc) belt finish Neck: 20mmx15mm Handle: Leopardwood and walnut, oil finished and waxed POB...

Hello All, This is a project that has been some time in the making. After much experimentation with other steels, and at least $700 worth of....learning experiences, here it is. It's a thicker than typical blade for me with a good deal of convexity near the edge and good taper. I would classify...

Hello All, This is the first post of 2024 and what better place to start than with a MagnaCut gyuto? This blade is a slight variation on my sabatier inspired profile that is both flatter and has a lower tip. I've made a couple knives like it in the past, but it's certainly not commonplace for...

Blade: 244mmx51mm 14c28n (61-62 hrc) scotchbrite belt finish Neck: 17mmx17m Handle: 134mm long, leopardwood + walnut oiled and waxed POB: 33mm from the hande Spine: 2.51mm at the neck, 2.06mm at halfway, .56mm 1cm from the tip Grind: flat to convex, right hand bias Weight: 153g Relieved choil...

Hello All, A basic AEB-L gyuto with a lovely birdseye maple handle Blade: 239mmx53mm AEB-L (63 hrc) scotchbrite belt finish Neck: 20mmx18mm Handle: 128mm long, birdseye maple + walnut oiled and waxed POB: 45mm from the hande Spine: 2.62mm at the neck, 2.04mm at halfway, .44mm 1cm from...

Hello All, A simple gyuto in my sab style profile Blade: 245mmx51mm AEB-L (63 hrc) scotchbrite belt finish Neck: 20mmx19mm Handle: 136mm long, curly maple oiled and waxed POB: 50mm from the hande Spine: 2.45mm at the neck, 2.28mm at halfway, .46mm 1cm from the tip Grind: flat to...

Hello All, As part of a recent steel order I picked up a couple of steels I've been reading about for a long time but never used, one of which was CPM-3V. This steel is absolutely legendary for its toughness and it's very rarely seen in kitchen knives despite having edge retention in a similar...

Hello All, Here's the latest, a 14c28n laser in my sab style profile at a length that should be a little more comfy for home cooks. This is the lightest gyuto I've made in a while but the POB is still nicely forward. It should be a really deadly little knife for onions and the like...
