Rodrigue knives

[Bear_Blade]

Hi guys, I would like to share a few of the knives I have been putting together. Any and all comments are welcomed! Thanks for poppin' in!

Pierre (aka Bear)

This is a new piece, made from S35VN, hand rubbed finish, at HRC61.

3/32" thick above the heel, a different grinding meathod gives this a nice convex, and great food release.

Full distal taper, I dont have a scale, but ballance point is 40 mm ahead of the heel. Also there is a mosaic pin in the handle butt.

Hand rubbed finish

Mokume bolsters and brass pins, mosaic center

Desert ironwood scales

NEW BONING KNIFE

CPM 154 blade, hand rubbed finish @ HRC 61

Mirrored stainless bolsters

Stabilized dyed spalted maple burl

Mosaic pins.

Spine and choil are rounded, edges broken and rounded on bolsters, and the spine in the handle is mirror finished, 'cause i'm a sucker for punishment... :cool:

Pierre,
Excellent Work there Buddy!
Love that Buckeye and Amboyna with the sapwood too.
Isn't that CPM-S35VN a bear to finish? Pun intended;).
Great work on the Ferrules too!

Wow, this is so weird. I have a knife that looks just exactly like this one: 2874

What are the odds of that ever happening? :)

[jmbullman]

I've been reluctant to say much. It is absolutely the most gorgeous piece of kitchen cutlery I have ever seen. The blade height, 45mm, and the length, 250mm, give it an almost suji appearance, but with plenty of knuckle clearance. All I can say is, "Pierre's the man!"

[Bear_Blade]

Gentlemen! (And of course ladies! :) )

This is a new steel I am trying, it is a high carbon steel, at HRC 64.5, Transitional grind. Convex lower, and slight hollow upper blade.

It has a G10 ferrule, stainless and mammoth tooth spacer

African black wood handle, wood from Mark at Burl Source. This stuff polishes up like glass!

Keep in mind, this is pre sharpening and pre glue up.

Thanks for looking, and comments welcome!

Holy crap that is an awesome knife, Pierre. Once I'm making some money and out from under my debt I'm looking you up!

[rhinoknives1]

HHmmm? Looks good Pierre. Nice work!
How did you grind your hollow before Convexing? A large diameter wheel?
