Chef's Knife in Ironwood
This knife is to be raffled off for the 2015 annual Sheriff's Charity Ride on Aug 22, 2015 in Franklin IN. I hope it brings some money for a great cause.
I built it from O1 Tool Steel bought from Aldo (Great Stuff Aldo!). I heat treated it before grinding in an evenheat oven and quenched in Texaco Type A. Tempered for 2 hours @ 350 degrees. it came out of the oven a beautiful golden brown on the spine (A file skidded off the edge and bit into the spine)6- 3/32 brass pins and stuck w/accraglas Finished the blade to 800 grit by hand, and dressed it in book-matched desert ironwood I bought from Sheffield Knife supply at the Knifemakers Guild Show in Nashville Ky a couple of years ago. O1 toolsteel OAL is 13" blade is 7 7/8" blade width is 2.5" comments welcome - Thanks for looking!
