It looks amazing. I am not sure if the blade or handle looks better.

I've got a new side project where I'm trying to represent the American custom knifemaker in bringing them to the kitchen knife market. This is the first knife from this new venture.
That is a nice looking sharp knife. Love the handle too.
LOL! Dave is also here.
Bought few items from you Dave. Still got them.
p/s: Dave you should check out all those safety razor DE blades angles ... wonder if the Japanese DE blades (Feather) actually got their sharpness from their knife sharpening knowledge?

How does it shave? Kidding. Wow, that is a seriously sweet looking knife.
I guess I'll be the odd man out here. I'm not attracted to the look of this knife at all. This is not an I'm right and you are wrong thing with me . . . just my impression. The blade is a bit too dark and perhaps a bit short for the width.
Hard to be humble when we are perfect in every way.

That is a piece of art.
Very nice, i do love that handle too.
Looks wonderful Dave!
That won't last long.

I understand that you are not looking at mainstream America, but do you think it's difficult to get the average kitchen knife loving population to buy a $1K knife? I understand it's handmade artisanal and beautiful and if i could talk myself into buying one, I would probably use it in the kitchen.
I am curious since i think it could probably be considered art more than utility by knife collectors; however maybe i am wrong since i have no background in knives other than seeing them in W-S and S-L-T and average people i know scoff at paying more than $100 for a set.
Thanks for any discussion.
Wow...what a knife.

You are correct....it sold overnight.
Thanks Jim, it's an honor.

You are soooo spot on correct in regards to the mainstream knife user and thankfully this wasn't meant to for them. There is a top end knife user market that demands these knives though and that's what we're going after for the most part. These are top chefs, well to do foodie folks, and your average guy who just wants the best tools. We don't aim to exclude the mid to lower end group but as a knifemaker you have to decide on making one high end knife or 6 lower priced ones and it's always going to be easier to make one unless you're a factory or can produce on a semi-production basis. But yes most people will never think of buying a knife like this.
That is great news. Most of the knives used in our kitchen are custom knives. My wife was not very keen on washing and drying the knives after each use, but she came along quickly
