Making A Damascus Chef Knife

[@IanZ_Forge]

Jared your knives are some of my favorites in the chef knife community specifically; that pinch point being ground in and sometimes even forged in always makes me stop and admire your work! Some of my everyday carry models I sell I’ve based on that style because of how influential it has been to the way I view a pinch point transition! ❤️

@@IanZ_Forge hey! Thanks, that means a lot!

Bin ein 64 jähriger Schmied und mir gefällt ausnehmend gut die händische Schmiedearbeit! Eine Kleinigkeit: die obere Kante des Briefes sollte nicht als kleine Stufe in den Klingenrücken über gehen. Viele Köche halten das Messer weiter vorne und bekommen dann Druckstellen. Aber sonst, 1A😊

[@jleesknives]

@@johannestreitner9460 hey, I appreciate it! That step is slightly chamfered, but also adds strength to a hidden tang blade. Many Japanese knives are made with an even bigger step... The contour of my handles are actually designed for this choked up pinch grip... I and quite a few pro chefs around the world use one similar every day and I can assure you it's very cozy👊👊👊

The hot wax and 5 min epoxy idea is a game changer for me, thanks for sharing! Great knife too 🔪❤️🇺🇸

[@aaronrimel8368]

The music is a little loud. Made it hard to hear you at some points.

[@jleesknives]

[@tannerrinker5499]

Gotta be honest it's not for me, it looks somewhat sloppy.

Gotta be honest, no one asked.
