Thread: home made paring knife

First Cabin...

I like the thumb's positioning/pad/wide spot. If not too much trouble would you please post a photo looking down from top to better see the thumb's placement place?

I use a lot of thumb in using a petit paring knife.

From the edge's bevel looks like the blade has some girth/width. I like a heavy feeling of a heavy paring knife.

Très bien...

thanks all ,


Tradisign : Leather Paring knife

more details here.

Did you just cut and sharpen the alternative saw blade, or you did the forging steps?

An interesting design that I have not seen before. I would like to hold it in my hand to see how it feels.

i think in your hand not very well maybe but in mine......!! In fact, i have paddles as hand and i need to have a good handling.

That is a strange looking handle but if it works for you that is all that matters.
