this forged W2 steel model has a shorter blade than we normally use. this one has a more general use sized blade at 6.25" and a new dark patterned etched finish. 11.25" overall length with a textured blue micarta handle.

I used to think Chef knives with the downward sloping handle looked awkward and difficult to use. Then I realized I hardly ever use that rear part of the handle anyway, using the proper pinch grip.

Very pretty.

i know what you mean. i slowly developed this shape and style over the last few years. you want a comfy handle shape and fit, but you also want to keep those knuckles up off your work area. nothing is quite so annoying as racking those knuckles on a nice, hard cutting surface when you are trying to do quick work.

How to describe that grip texture?

i actually did it by hand with a texturing bit and a foredom tool, but it is very similar to a tumbled or stonewashed finish. i actually really like how it worked out. i may have to offer it as an option in the future. it feels so nice in the hand. you can see it a little better in this shot. it almost looks fuzzy, but it isn't.

Thanks, Dozer. I think that grip finish works particularly well on that knife.
