A set of kitchen knives gone to a new home....

[Grand Torino]

These were made from farrier's rasps as requested by the customer. The first picture is what each blade started from. They all had Arizona Desert Ironwood handles with SS Loveless bolts as well as epoxy. The rasps had to be normalized, worked, then heat treated and tempered.

The block is made from walnut. Thirteen pieces make up the block then glued, jointed, sanded, stained and finished.It took the better part of a month working part time to finish the set.

Very tasteful. I would say that you have outdone yourself, but I don't think you will ever outdo yourself. I just don't think there's a limit to the talent. 

[Grand Torino]

Thanks for the kind words men.

[dralarms]

Those are fantastic. 

 

I've got an old kitchen knife that the handle is messed up, got any idea on cost to replace the grip with something like that? Those handles look to be about the right size and shape.

I am sure that the new home they went to are more than proud to have them for sure. Great work and beautiful cutlery for sure.................

[aknifemaker]

Fine looking knives!

[TripleGGG]

Outstanding as always GT.

I'd hazard.... butcher knife, two chef's knives,  standard kitchen knife, and paring knife on the end.

As has been repeated before, excellent work.

GT. You're an artist, man. Been saying it for a good while. Now, I can't afford you anymore :) . Actually, I can. Just gotta drill back and find the best of.
