This completes the 3-piece high carbon steel kitchen knives (blade kits by Hock Tools). The method of construction is the same as with the 5-inch chef's knife. Same hard wood - pink flame, popularly known as flame wood.

| Finishing was done on all four separate pieces before final glue up |

| Believe it or not this is the final glue up. The fitting is perfectly snugged, there was no need for clamping action, except for a slight tap for a fully contact. |
Photo below is what made this project particularly special. Note how the grain matched up perfectly. Considering that during the 45 degree miter cut and the gap created by the saw kerf, it was pure luck that this was achieved.
From the photos below, my wife once again reminds me that the kitchen island is running out of room (I say there is still plenty but I'm not saying it loud). These are micro projects that did not get done overnight but I hope some of the grand children will want to hold on to these.
