Bill the Butcher knife
For a long time, I hade been using my grandfather’s 10’’ butcher knife and wishing it was smaller and stouter for every day use. So I made a couple of the butcher knives for anyone else interested in something useful for both butchering and everyday tasks.
It’s forged from 1095 high carbon steel in .100’’ thickness. It measure 10.5’’ overall, with a 4.75’’ handle and a 5.75’’ blade. The solid brass bolster are pinned in place and the big leaf maple handle slabs are locally sourced. The handle is large and shape to an octagon fore and aft while plateauing in the center, which helps maintain a good grip for slippery tasks and index properly in the hand.
Though it’s currently not sharpened in the photos, it will ship beyond razor sharp.
Enjoy!
