    Two New Ones

    I designed these for a good friend of mine who is a chef in upstate NY. They were designed as "Shallot Knives", but will do many tasks in the kitchen. These were both forged to shape from .125"-thick 1095 high carbon tool steel. The overall lengths are 10.75" on the top knife in Kingwood...

    52100 processing

    Thanks Bob, I'm feeling like from what I have been hearing that there is no need to have a digital oven to do some of the special thermal-cycling that I read about years ago. Looking forward to hearing what others have to say. -DON:)

    What custom are you EDCing?

    I always love to see the "What Are you EDC-ing" threads! From top to bottom I seem to carry My Anso knives most often, and the Haddock at the top is the one I have almost always have with me. The Damascus Haddock is the newest to my carry line-up for when I require something more classy and...
