Dad has been making knives lately, he made one from a saws all blade with the saw on one side, blade on the other. Here is one he made for me from an old circular saw blade.
That will be something you will treasure for the rest of your life. It's really awesome when a dad makes his son something like that.
That is a good looking knife! I like it better knowing who made it and where the parts of it came from.
nice knife reminds me of a dexter boning knife. probably a little thicker and shorter? should be a workhorse.
So, not quite a santoku, but a nice knife. Sharpened the wrong side of the blade. Just used it to cleave some ribs, worked well.
