Rough start but I’m pushing through. I’m not sure what this is? Maybe a hybrid cleaver/chef knife. OAL 11 inches. The blade is 6 inches long. .120 inch 1095 stock. I cold hammered the side for a hammered look. I will probably sand a bit more to bring out the texture.
im not sure what wood I will use for the handle yet. I’d like to try a saya with this. I never made one before. I may chose a curly maple because I can get wide thin maple for the says. I’m not sure if the light maple will be to much contrast with the dark knife. I don’t have a good eye for that sought of thing.
