7.5 inch Camp/chef knife, blue maple burl

Completely handmade from 1/8 inch thick circular saw steel (8670 tool steel), recycled from defunct North Idaho lumber mill. The steel is very similar to our mothers dark colored kitchen knives that cut so well. 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. Previous customers say this knife becomes their favorite most used knife in the kitchen. 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 at CTKNIVES.COM. The sharpening strop comes with the knife. The handle is blue stabilized blue maple burl with white liners and copper pins. Custom tooled 12 oz. weight leather sheath Over all length 12.5 inches. Blade is 2-5/16 inches wide. Cutting edge is 7.5 inches My touchmark is on the blade.
