Custom Camp/chef knife, Ponderosa pine

Eye catching handle and completely handmade from 1/8 inch thick circular saw steel (8670 tool steel), recycled from a defunct North Idaho lumber mill. The steel is very similar to our mothers dark colored kitchen knives that cut so well. Custom tooled  leather sheath

• A pleasure to use. As a past restaurant owner, I know how important it is to have a tool that makes daily chores easier. A fine convex edge, great for slicing and dicing vegetables and meat.
•  You can spend less on a Henckels or Wusthof  but this knife will feel better in your hand and be much easier to keep sharp. A couple passes on the strop every week or two, takes about 10 seconds to keep it hair shaving sharp. See my sharpening instructions on the " Knife Care" page.  The sharpening strop comes with the knife.
• The handle is stabilized blue stained Ponderosa pine with  black liners and brass pins.
• Over all length 11.5 inches. Blade is just under 2.3/8 inches wide. Cutting edge is just over 6.5 inches. My touchmark is on the blade.
