Haha! I posted awhile back where I dropped a knife. And stabbed myself in the foot.

I'd use the heck out of that set.....but I would not abuse the steel. I'd keep a razor edge on every blade. Even has Pro bolster so you can sharpen all the way to the back of the blade with years of steel to sharpen. I am highly impressed with that set. Just awesome! jcam222 -is that Damascus? Did you forge it yourself? Absolutely beautiful......

Want! Does he have a shop? Not too late to look at ordering some as Christmas presents...

...for 2022!

What a fantastic set of knives!! Pattern welded, with a very distinct pattern throughout the blade. Obviously hand forged by a skilled blade smith. Did Jeff make them himself??
I'd use them, but treat them with the respect they deserve.

Definitely glad you like them Steve. I know you will put them to good use. Guys I didn’t craft these. I participate in occasional food contests sponsored by a guy who’s friend makes them. This is a smaller set I won for a July 4th rib and popper entry. They will be going to my smoking buddy here in my hometown for Christmas.

Beautiful set !

They have a heavy heft from the handles lol, they would definitely go through a foot.

Well. Been there. Done that. Not ready for a repeat!

 

[civilsmoker]

Those are some nice blades.... Steve they have magnetic imbedded presentation wood knife blocks you can get to show them off if you like. To me the best thing about a carbon blade is the natural patina they develop over time. Even the Damascus blades will as you use them. Just please don’t put them in the dishwasher or in the bottom of the sink to wash later..... oh and if you have a water softener remember to rinse with the non softened and wipe down with a drop of oil....

 

[Cajun Smokes]

Both sets are a spectacular example of true craftsmanship.

 

[xray]

Very nice set of knives Steve! Definitely display them on a magnetic block.

That's what I'm going to do. Got some ideas on making one.

LOL---My best Buddy since 10th grade (Hunky Jack), right through school, the Army & Vietnam, and to this very day, has always had a Knife problem. We used to exchange gifts & every time I got him a knife (Bowie or Pocket), he'd cut himself with it. Every freaking time!!!
We'd always laugh about it, but I actually quit getting him knives, because I didn't know how he was going to break the next one in. We still chuckle about it, but he still has all his Digits!!

Morning all,
I'm building a display stand for the knives. Almost done. Got the pieces cut and routed.

Cut a 15 degree angle on the back piece. And bored holes with a Forstner bit for the magnets. The base got routed
to receive the upright. And a groove for resting the knife butts.

Test fit the pieces. I'm liking it! Now to finish sanding and staining. Not sure on the finish yet.

 

[DRKsmoking]

Looks good Steve, I would keep the stain light so the handles stand out . But the steel would look good on a dark background.
Now I'm confused.
