A New Start for 2010!

It is exciting to rebuild California Custom Knives website. I plan to focus on making culinary knives throughout 2010. Of course, I will create some camp knives and integral knives as well, however my main focus will be on knives for the kitchen.

2009 chef knives

Now, with that said, I am happy to present two French Knife Patterns that I made in 2009. The top knife is one I made for myself form a piece of  1/8"-1095 that was gifted to me by my mentor, Tai Goo. It was one of the first pieces that I heat treated in my new studio in Los Osos and I was truly happy with the results. The bottom knife is a super-light chef knife out of 1095 and with a handle configuration borrowed from Anton Wingen.
