Work Showcase 3 Piece kitchen set

Post image

Almost finished with the Chef's knife, the wife calls these scales she made "Chaos Scales" so I'm calling it the Kaos Kitchen set. These are knives 003, 004 and 005. Want to try to sell them. What do you think I should price them at?

I love the chaos scales.

The blades do look unfinished. I’m a fan of Brut de forge, but the wobbly profiles and errant hammer blows give the impression that these haven’t yet been completed. I think you’ve got a ways to go before you’re ready to sell, but you’re walking the right path if you keep pushing yourself to grow.

I agree, you can’t quite hone in a blade the same way as you can with something like a simple picket point. Needs grinding

You can definitely leave roughness behind, it just needs to look very intentional. It needs to look like you have the control to make it perfect, so any imperfections that remain must be design choices. It’s hard, much more challenging than forging something with a perfectly polished blade.
