Proposed Batch of Chef Knives This Summer, Feedback Wanted

[Twispriver]

My choice is #5

[cem3434]

Not exactly a consensus on favorites, but that's ok. I appreciate the input!

@cem3434: Prices are still hypothetical, but should be around $220 with free shipping. My goal is for these to be knives you can enjoy using every day and hand down to your children.

It looks like #5 was a top choice by just about everyone. If you're looking for one style to make, I think that is your winner. 

[Widgeondeke]

I prefer #3 & #6 blades

 

[grimace]

#3 & #4  with the handle of #5   

[Badhabit]

8. 185mm with micarta handle. Oh my...

[dewandgin]

I really like #3 and #8 alot and am interested in buying one if you go ahead with them.

Yes, that may be the one I end up doing. On my Facebook page #5 didn't get a single vote, #1 got the most. There was more input here though, thanks again everyone!

Got you on my list and will let you know when/if I get them finished! Once I'm a little further in, I'd be happy to hear what you'd like for handle material and blade grind (hollow vs flat). The hollow grind pushes off food and some people like the two tone look. The flat is a thin, traditional chef grind.

The first one looks awesome...I would be interested in purchasing one

I like 3,4, and 5 but LOVE that two tone look of 8! I hate my current chef's knife. The handle isn't right and I end up having to choke up on it for better control and it chews the heck out of my index finger.

I am with Karl, I really like the two tone look of #8 but like the design of #3 and #5

Any of the patterns can be hollow ground. The hollow grind is really, really thin behind the edge, but thickens up pretty quick for food release. In fact, I may try using a larger wheel for a less aggressive grind.

I’m interested in a #1 but it can’t be purple the Coug in me can’t abide.

Thanks, you are on the list. About half of my family would agree with you and the other would disagree. Red is good.

By the way, anyone on the list is obviously under no obligations. Just for future reference/seeing how many people are interested.

[bearhunter99]

I would probably be interested.  Never hurts to have another good knife!  What angle is the cutting edge sharpened to?
