[DiamondG Knives]

On the idea of "Free is way cool" has anyone tried using bowling balls?
They seem like they would be tough as nails.

I have several around from the folks. I dont bowl, so they are not much use to me.

Anyone know what the older (1960) black bowling balls are made of?

I prefer to use stabilized burl wood from K&G for mine, they are beautiful, and 3D stable.

I agree totally on the ?t looks cheap" adage", I have had people who couldnt understand my price, but when they see the end product, they have all agreed that it was WELL worth the money. Sadly most folks are in the "Walmart" frame of mind when thinking of kitchen knives. Unless they work with them for a living, they most likely wont understand at first the idea behind a hand made tool.

One thing I use as a sales tool is a handmade chefs knife is a gift that is like no other, and when someone is looking for that nice gift for that hard to buy someone, these work great!!

God Bless
