Let me start by saying good work, that's a beautiful knife. I was a professional chef and have been in the kitchen off and on for 30 years. There's a couple of things I would like to have seen you do differently, the heel of the blade and the bolster, both for knife control and comfort. Let's start with the handle, when using a proper pinch grip you have to punch the blade between your index and thumb, and with the handle material that far away from the blade it would be uncomfortable to hold for extended periods of time and it would affect my grip on the handle . The second is the profile of the heel of the blade, you have a curve instead of a sharp right angle, that could lead to instability at the end of a cut and it could throw the chef off enough and make for improper knife cuts. With those 2 minor changes then I wouldn't have an issue dropping 400-500 on a knife like that

Nice work. Let the haters hate.

Beautiful knife, and you do a great job of explaining what you are doing, and why. I do wonder though, about the method of using wax (and I've seen others use vaseline) on the tang when gluing up the handle material, for later installation. I'd be concerned that the wax/vaseline left in the handle could impede proper adhesion of the handle to the tang. Do you do something to remove the wax from inside the handle, before finally gluing up the tang?

@JPsBladeworks

5 ай бұрын

Great question. I dont have a co crete answer. Ive never had a knife handle fall off from using this method or have i heard from another maker that a knife has come loose. Ill definetly ask a few people that use this method more frequently and see what they think.

I made one just like it last week

Hey dude, that knife turned out beautiful. I loved the video too. How do you like your OBM grinder? Are you happy with it, or do you wish you would have waited for a more expensive machine like an Ameribrade or similar? Just curious because the price tag on OBM's is enticing.

@JPsBladeworks

5 ай бұрын

Im happy with it. The price tag is fair. I cant say if the other brands are superior since i havent had a chance to work with them but in my opinion it does everything needed at a great price compared to their competitors. You can always upgrade in the future as well if needed. And they have a good variety of attachments as well. Only thing i dont like is it doesnt have reverse feature on the vdf but im sure that can be added if needed.
