Kitchen Knife Collection

A collection of various kitchen knives that I made. All but the cake knife were made in Moses Lake. All blades are made from ATS-34 stainless steel. I will list them starting from the top.

First is a fillet knife that I made for myself. I used it quite a bit for many years. The blade was 1/16" thick and very flexible. The handle is micarta and the guard is stainless steel. The guard was designed differently then any other knife I have done. I was concerned about the blade breaking off at the guard when it was flexed. This design proved to be very strong. I recently sold this knife since I don't do much fishing any more, but I kind of miss this one.

Second is a cake knife that I made for our wedding. The handle is white micarta and has red spacers between the micarta and the knife tang. The bolster is dovetailed brass and the blade is engraved with our wedding date.

Third is a kitchen knife that I detail in a previous post.

Fourth is a little one-piece bird and trout knife that I made for myself. I sand blasted the handle for a little more grip. It is still in my lunch box and gets used quite frequently.

Fourth is a paring knife that I made for my wife. It has a Pakawood handle and stainless pins. The handle is too small for her so she never uses it.
