His and hers wootz kitchen knife set

This is a set of 2 wootz kitchen knives that was made on request for a professional chef. The big one is an 8" chef knife, the little one is 6". The handles are Juma Dragon. The guard plate is stabilized fossil mammoth molar. In the background you see an example of the wootz ingot that I started with. The pattern does not always show up well so I included closeups of the big one. The wootz was smelted by Krzysztof Rusek

The colors may seem strange but this was a request from the chef and if I recall correctly, these were the favorite colors of him and her. The molar was my choice. He didn't request anything special but I had those 2 pieces lying around, waiting for just a project like this so I took the opportunity to use them.

Lovely work, Bruno! The fossilized molar goes really well with orange Juma Dragon.

Wow, that's nice!

Beautiful and functional at the same time. Classic design, contemporary execution.

Wow - those are beautiful blades.

What is Juma like to work with? I have to admit I hadn't heard of it before, but with patterns like that I may have to give it a try.

Wow. Those will be a joy to use and will add class to their kitchen.

Amazing work as always Bruno.
I'm sure they will love those knives
