    His stuff is great looking. I never see spine or choil shots, though. I'd love to get an idea of blade thickness, taper, and grind.

    Thickness and taper are really going to depend on the knife and it's use. Although I generally like a pretty good distal taper. If there is anything you are interested in, feel free to ask and I can try to get photos or ballpark measurements. Spine photos are pretty hard for me to pull off on something like a kitchen knife. Even more so on something sword sized.

    Slow Poke Pete owns one of Eric's "Warehouser" models I think. Very nice piece of steel. It is a short knife but has a really nice heft to it. Good leverage on the blade edge with a nice handle so you aren't going to turn it suddenly in your hand. I remember the spine being thick, like metal file thick. If you've seen one of the Morakniv heavy duty blades, it is in that ballpark.

    edit: Aha - Eric answered. He is obviously the expert! So whatever he says. I am just a fan.

    Here's a favorite of mine.

    Was thinking specifically of the kitchen knife sets such as the one you just posted. I figured you went for consistent profile and taper on those. I'd be curious to see a profile shot of a 10" chef's knife sitting atop a cutting board and a weight estimate next time you're snapping photos.

    I have a 9" here that tapers from about .11" at the handle to .02" just behind the tip. That can go up or down based on the use and preferences. This is on a knife with a 2.5" heel.



    Too dark to get a decent spine pic, but I can try again tomorrow. They are all hand ground, and the particulars will vary a bit based on what I'm making and who it's for.
