Haha, probably the easiest answer! Thanks for the well-said response. I'll always consider myself a beginner -- always trying to learn new things every day I spend in the shop! I have no expectation of being able to replicate this any year soon. The main reason I didn't reach out to the makers...

After coming across a few knives that stopped me in my tracks like this from Spencer Aplin: And this from Jordon Berthelot: I've been inspired to learn everything I can about the process of making a knife with such intricate bevels. I really want to learn how. Is it primarily done with a...

Yeah, I was thinking of making a quick instagram video demonstrating the "safest" way to do it with a side towel on a table. It's pretty easy after doing it a few times.

I based this design off of a Japanese oyster knife that I really enjoyed using, but I hated the feel of the handle: The tip would roll after a lot of use, so I flattened it out and modified the handle, making it much more comfortable to use. Using .094 AEBL treated at 60-61 HRC and a convex...

This design is based on a Japanese oyster knife a chef showed me. It works very well but you need to be careful, as with any oyster knife, of stabbing yourself.

I'm not like that. The more the merrier! I love how oyster knife designs remain very unique to each maker.

Yes, pricey but worth it. I'll share the maker shortly, he's Russian and has been mentioned in this forum before.

I'm finishing one up tomorrow and I'll post the pictures! Yours look great!

1084. I work primarily with that and AEBL for my other culinary stuff like oyster knives.

Thanks brother!

This is a fantastic deal. Too bad I already have one! New makers should jump on this.

I've just started to get more serious about my work. I'm a fairly new knifemaker. Hope you like the pictures!

I randomly looked into an old coffee cup as well, but it had coffee in it. No kidding, there was a huge spider just submerging into the liquid and I swear its legs extended as it dove to the bottom of the cup. It disappeared within a second and the coffee looked good to go. Imagine drinking...

Thank you! I still have a long way to go and I'm not nearly up to par with you guys. Squarespace made it really easy to start a decent looking website, and after some conversation with their ecommerce partner Stripe, they say selling cutlery is considered kosher. I'm still trying to figure out...

That would be a nice problem, wouldn't it? I don't think I'll sell out. The price point for my chef knives will be a bit higher than the typical average prices at this fair, I think. And there is spotty internet there, it's at a beach, so Venmo might be a hassle. That's why I'm planning on...

NOPE NOPE WHY WERE YOUR HANDS NEAR THERE AT ALL i found one in my ear muff protection once and i screamed like a little girl

First and foremost, a big thank you goes out to everyone who has helped me get to where I am -- I've had a ton of questions answered by those in this forum, both directly and indirectly, since I've started this hobby. By far, this website has been the most welcoming place around for new...
