Pattern Welded Kitchen Knife

[Eric Dennis]

First knife I've made in a long time. I made the material 5 years ago and it has been sitting around since then. The fit up left more than a little to be desired. After much frustration with a file I bit the bullet and ordered one of Bill Benhke's carbide file guides. I'm looking forward to using it on the next one and imagine it should save some serious headache not to mention time.

Anyway, thanks for looking. Here's some specs:

 

Blade length: 6"

1084 + bandsaw blades

Nickel silver spacer + titanium pin

"Maka" burl handle. (Honestly I don't know much about this wood. A knife maker who was active in the 70's gave me the block when I bought his old Bader-2 and all it said was "maka: $15.00. Sure is pretty though.)

Welcome back to it.  That is a pretty piece o' steel!
