"Can you make something like this?" There's a question I'm getting asked regularly these days. You're damn skippy I can, if you'll allow me to crow about it a little bit.
The Rooster Custom is my take on a kitchen knife that's uniquely Stationed (you see what I did, there) to also be a versatile do-it-all blade. Its owner specifically told me they intend to use it for "everything." That's a tall order, but I filled it as best I can.
It's a solid slab of CPM154 stainless steel at just a hair over 1/8" in thickness, so a little beefier than your average kitchen knife. The full flat grind terminates in a wicked sharp hand ground edge along its full length, with no ricasso and a gentle upwards sweep, which combined with the high mounted handle allows the entire thing to be brought to bear onto any surface.
The scales are a new experiment: These are 3D printed in a new pattern (i.e. not yet another recycle of the ones on the Emperor/King/Humbolt/you get the idea), dismountable and still replaceable, but vapor smoothed to seal out liquids and germs. I added a subtle patriotic flair according to the owner's wishes.
I had to find a bird to name this after, as usual. Its owner's nickname is already "Rooster." You can do the math on that one.
Do you have an idea for your own custom knife? By all means, don't let any of the above get in the way of my crass commercialism. Drop me a line and we'll see about making your design a reality.
