Completed this project today. The chef’s knife is made from 5160 which had been hardened, tempered and sharpened to a 17 degree angle. The handle is Bocote with two brass and one mosaic 1/4 inch pins. It’s finished with multiple coats of danish oil. Overall length of the knife is 12 inches with a 6 3/4 inch x 2 1/2 inches wide blade. In the counter display the handle of the knife becomes the stem of the apple. The display is West Virginia walnut and measures approximately 12 x 14 inches. The display has been finished with 4 coats of polyurethane.

We had a request for a set of cheese knives. Though we didn’t make the blades, we couldn’t let these go out the door without forging something. Tom made this little walnut rack to hold them, and forged the leafy vine to keep the whole thing together. The handles, which are easily screwed off of the blades for easy washing, are turned from cherry.

This Go Mai, (5 layer) knife has a 1080 core with two copper layers and two 15n20 layers on the outside. The handle is made with Katalox with copper pins and bolsters. It has been fully hardened, tempered and has been hollow ground and acid etched. This was my first attempt with using copper as a blade layer. Although not perfect, I was pleased with how it turned out.

Here’s the full view!
