Two new ones for the kitchen

Here are two new knives that I made a few weeks ago. Both are from 52100 with black and tan G10 handles held one with cutler's rivets. They were polished out wth a satin finish. They've both been in use for a bit and have started to develope a patina.

The Chef's knife is about 12" OAL and a 7" blade 1 3/8" wide and 1/8" thick at the handle. It skins salmon fillets real well.

The little cleaver has an OAL of 7" with a 3 3/4" long, 2 1/8" wide blade that is also 1/8" thick. I wish that I had made it maybe 3/4-1" longer but it still does a real good job chopping veggies for the soup.

Beautiful knives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are the handles made from micarta or dymond wood ? My next project is to also do a Kitchen knife I am going to put Corian handles to see how they come out.
 
Craig, the material is G10 which is like Micarta except the matrix is fiber glass instead of paper or cloth.
