/ck/ - Food & Cooking

My usual go to for most cutting. I made this knife myself from scratch. I tried to design it to meet as many of my needs in the kitchen as possible. The handle is Zircote. If you haven't tried making a knife, I highly recommend it, the process of highly gratifying. This piece makes my store bought knives feel as sharp as bricks.

I make my knives by hand. I know most people might not have access to a workspace for knife making, but I really encourage you to investigate. There's something really special and fulfilling creating a tool that you'll use every day. My hand made knives also hold an edge way better than my store boughts and they are so sharp. They make my others feel like I'm cutting with a brick.

Pic related. It's one of my first ones. About a 9 hour build time. The grip is Zircote. It's definitely formed a patina, but I like to think it's a good look. I choose not to sand it off. I like my tools to have some character and I don't mind if they acquire imperfections from use.
