8" chef knife,my first

[Calvin Robinson]

I made this 8" chef knife for a customer,it is my first attempt at this type of knife.
The blade is Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel @ 60Rc,3/32" at the spine,.010" at the edge before sharpening,flat grind to the spine. The handle material is ipe wood with stainless corby bolts. the blade finish is bead blasted.
Questions,comments and constructive critisism appreciated.
Y'all enjoy!

That's a beauty Calvin ! I think the Ipe was a great choice

I'm working on my first Chef right now too. Sure is fun doing giant flat grinds on thin stock

Take care,

Josh

What a great looking blade! Ipe (ironwood) is one of my favorite woods and I use a lot of it. Your stencil looks great, by the way!
