Celtic Boar chefs knife

Helloo steemers :D just want to share with you one of my last works.
As said in my introduction i make knives, i mostly just do what i like and recently i jumped in to kitchen knives.
Also the first time in a while a took a custom order, kinda a nightmare for most makers.

this is a 100% sole authorship product, al all of the blades i make.
i shape, grind, heat treat the steel myself, the wood is been sourced at a local lumber yard and stabilized under vacuum with heat curing resin by me.
the wood chosen this time is a nice and simple curly maple that i stabilized but also double died to add some colour to the final product.

some numbers :D
blade made out of N690 3 mm
overall length: 33 cm
blade length: 21 cm
ground flat to convex
stainless steel pins

as you can see i carved a boar on the blade near my logo by customers request, the template/source i used was a pictish boar carving

the wooden saya was carved out of some iroko boards, quite a light wood and the retaining pin is bade out of olive wood burl

so far the costumer is quite happy :D and so am i.
hope you like this kind of content :)

till next time
