Chef's knife/wedding gift...

[J. Doyle]

Here's a smaller chef's knife that I made for my sister- in- law for her wedding next weekend. Should be a pretty good all around kitchen knife and a great slicer. It's thin overall with a nice distal taper and really thin cutting edge. The handle is contoured kind of like a coke bottle and is very comfortable in the hand.

3/32" 1080 steel, edge quenched and etched
10 1/2" overall, 5 1/4" cutting edge
Black paper micarta bolsters, dovetailed
Scarlet box elder burl scales
Brass pins and spacer
Thorny vine filework inset into the handle spine

That is awesome looking knife!

That's a very nice gift. I like the dove tailed bolsters , and every thing else about that knife.
