Garry, that braai knife is exceptionally lovely. Wonderful job! There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Garry, You've made a couple of knives for me and I loved both of them. I like the kitchen knives from your September picture, but have a question. Could you either rock that Bearded Chef a little or add an Ulu to the set? I like a curved blade to chop and dice. I think rocking the Bearded Chef might be the easiest, but welcome your thoughts. Regardless, what are handle material choices, costs of the set, etc.? I'd be interested in two sets. | |||

Sorry or the delay, I havent been on the forum for a while. It is easy enough to add the curve to a bearded chef although I have done a couple of ulu's as well. Are you meaning a kitchen knife set and if so are you meaning the 3 piece K tip set plus a rocking bearded chef. I have been doing number of these kicthen knives with a "spilled milk" acrylic handle like the septenmber set but there are other acryilics available. | |||

Saw your PM and I'll respond. Like the September set, but would like a rocking bearded chef. Will respond to your PM, just got sidetracked. | |||

I am in awe of your skills. Superb. I have some 1084 and 15N20 that I want to experiment with. | |||

Thank you, I have forged a few blades but the vast majority of my knives are cut from sheet or bar steel as the damascus making and forging takes much more time and my order book would have a multi years backlog and with the mono steel I can guarantee the steel quality to my customers. 1084 is mainstay for much of my 1/8 inch bladed hunters, 3/16 in 1075 for the larger heavier use knives and 3/32 1095 for the finer cutters and any carbon steel kitchen knives. I do use some O1 on request for specific knives. I cryo quench the NitroV stainless for kitchen knives for the added toughness to this excellent steel. | |||

Hi Garry, Haven't looked in on the knife page for a while so missed your knife #1000. You've made some beautiful knives since getting into the business but I think #1000 is a fantastic tribute to your skills and attention to detail to mark the milestone with, congratulations and looking forward to what you will produce for #2000  Not made it down closer to your neck of the woods yet but still work in progress, albeit slow. Cheers Lindsay | |||

Been a few since #1000 but hadn't been posting here since then. There is a new professional chef knife in the stable with some good reports on them.  I rode up as far as Murchison last week to deliver a dozen knives to friend who has transfered her shop from here to there. | |||

Some knives for a local customer with the handles from an old Totora verandah post he had. I cut, oven dried, and stabilised them for a handle that is not effected by varying atmospheric conditions with all having brass bolsters. There is a pair of 9 inch pro chefs, a pair of 8 inch filleters, a pig sticker, Tahr hunter and a Chamois knife. The pig sticker is in a deep pouch sheath with the Tahr and Chamois knife in horrizontal closed top sheaths.  | |||

The first of the knives with the new batch of spalted Hackberry away today. I love the way the colours and patterns remind me of the old time maps and globes.

More ready to go with a General purpose kitchen and pairing knife in NitroV with spilled acrylic as a gift for a friend. An EDC with curly eucalyptus over 1084 blade in stamped sheath with attached honing steel. The customer wanted my name engraved with the NuZ being the Czech way of spelling knives and with the N and Z being capitalised reinforcing its NZ made origin. And for a repeat customer an Euro kitchen set in NitroV and a General purpose Field knife in 1084 HC, all with Totora over brass.     | |||
