Maybe one of my favorite chef knives I’ve made to date. This beauty is an eight inch k-tip style chef, super light and thin. Made from AEB-L stainless steel and with an unbelievable dyed + stabilized hardwood handle with natural linen micarta ferrule. Man, oh man I love this knife!

I am in love with this new chef knife. Eight inch AEB-L stainless steel KBC Hornet with an absolutely devastating blue-dyed yellow cedar burl stabilized hardwood handle and a super-slick natural linen micarta ferrule. I have a soft spot in my heart for blue & brown color combos. Hitting the website soon, this one is going to be hard to let go of!

Back in May, I attended the Blue Ridge Arts In the Park Festival. I sold a chef knife with a beautiful two-toned spalted mango handle with a black micarta ferrule.

Soon after, the owner reached out and asked me to make a similar knife for his daughter as a housewarming gift to commemorate her new home in New York.

I just finished up this new AEB-L stainless steel chef knife with a gorgeous spalted mango handle from to match the original. I’m really happy with how it turned out and I can’t wait to see it in the hands of its new owner.

Many knife skills are important, and many overlap each other. The skills in this list are the ones I believe to have the most direct effect in an emergency.
