Here's some photos of my first pattern-welded blade - a kitchen utility knife for my personal use. 1095/15N20. Brass furnishings. Mosaic pin by Sally Martin at CustomKnife dot com. Maple handle finished in coconut oil.

I've had the blade profile rattling around my brain for years (for a kitchen knife) - I think of it as "Jester's Slipper". The handle shape is inspired by one of Dietrich Podmajersky's pieces in his ABS JS Presentation set. I angled the handle upward (like my favorite paring knife) so I won't rap my knuckles on the cutting board. The knife is in my kitchen drawer - I want to see how it stands the tests of time!

Let me know what you think.
