I will buy one if you are up to making another. Very nice. Heirloom.
Odd that you say that. The main reason I made this was as a proof of concept project. I've been looking for easy projects to do in my shop after retirement or even during my free time for a few extra bucks. Cutting boards and butcher blocks are on the list. However, This was a bit too involved to be profit worthy. The amount I would have to charge to make it worthwhile would ensure I never sold one. I would be looking at between $125 and $150 price tag. Making them in bulk, making jigs and such would drive the price down but not that much. They would make nice Xmas gifts for friends though so get on my good side!

Good Grief! It's amazing how sharp you can get a knife with a strop! The wife is afraid to touch them. No matter, I do 99% of the cooking anyway. I cut a tomato last night. The weight of the blade and a drag went right through it. No pressure needed. It's like a Ginzu commercial only for real. These are not even great knives, they are Henkel's.
