Kitchen knives

This will keep me busy for a little while. A customer commissioned some kitchen knives for his wife. All he said was, a big honkin chefs knife, a utility, a cleaver, and a sushi knife. The beginning of them is attached. The chef and utility areCPM 440C, the cleaver is CPM M4, the sushi is CPM S35VN. They all will have a taper tang thanks to Steve Johnson's video. I can't believe how easy it is to do the handle with his grind tips. Thanks Steve. Except the sushi will be a hidden tang, my first one, a little anxiety but not to much. Ray hope ya like em.

Looking good so far. A hidden tang might be difficult with the tang aligned with the spine of the blade like that. That will leave the handle sitting above the spine. Putting the tang about 1/8" below the level of the spine allows the back of the handle to be even with the blade's spine ...

Tang

Your are right Ray, that pic doesn't show the scribe line well. That part still needs to be ground some and a few holes drilled for the acraglas to get into. When he asked for one I didn't even know what a sushi knife was. All of the pics i have looked at online have the handle up above the spine so that is what I'm kinda shootin for.
Thanks for checkin it out.
Scott
