New Slicer
Here is a slicer I just finished for a chef friend of mine, Tommy Grella. Tommy is a big guy and wanted a big knife. As a matter of fact, everything Tommy does, he does big. http://www.grellasize.com/
The blade is 1/8" cpm154cm and is 14" OAL. The bolster has been extended over the blade as he likes to wrap his index finger over the top of the blade while slicing. The extended bolster will add a bit of comfort. Sorry for the crappy photo. I had to get this done and over to him as he is leaving for Florida to do a cooking seminar and wanted to bring this with him.  Thanks for lookin' Bill

Yes Tracy, that's the one. I normally make small folders so grinding a blade this big was a bit of a challenge. I actually have two more that will go with this one. I am hoping the new grinding belts will make quick work of them. Bill

Bill-
That's gotta be one of the coolest chef knives I've seen - I love the long bolsters! I think it makes the knife look even longer than it really is. I used to work with a bunch of chefs and always thought it was wierd how they held their knives. I think your desgn will work well for this application. -Dave __________________ www.ruhligknives.com "The choice isn't between success and failure; it's between choosing risk and striving for greatness, or risking nothing and being certain of mediocrity." - Keith Ferrazi

Beautiful knife! Not casting aspersions but I made a knife with an overhanging handle like that once and the first thing I found out about it was that sharpening it under that overhang was a real challange. The required sharpening angle in that area was necessarily too acute and I kept scraping the bolster (or wood in my case). Mine was smaller and not as tall so yours may not have that problem but I decided to make sure there was plenty of clearance for a sharpening stone after that.
