Mini-santoku
At least that's what I've taken to calling it. This is a small kitchen knife I made as a Christmas present for my wife. The steel is 1080 from Kelly Cupples, red Dymondwood handles, brass pins. It's 6.5 inches overall, and the blade is a hair under 3 inches. Full-height flat ground using Fred Rowe's Bubble-jig.
This is the first kitchen knife that I've done, and I'll definitely do more in the future. The barstock I started with was 1/8 inch since that was what I had on hand. Next time I'll go thinner, and probably go with stainless, which I haven't used in a long time. Here's a picture, thanks for taking a look! |

That's a nice little knife man, Once it gets that good old patina I think it would look even nicer

That is a nice knife but not really shaped like a Santoku. But, whatever it is, it looks like it might do the job very nicely ...

Thanks man. I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs. I don't mind the patina, but I know my wife wants her knives shiny, that's why the next one will probably be in stainless.

You're right Ray. The name just stuck in my head while I was making it. It's closer to a European chef's knife in profile, though not in size. Santoku's have more of a drop at the tip, don't they? And a little less belly?
