Knife: The Consus is named for the Roman god of
grain and food storage, and this one was custom made for a prodigy
chef to his specifications and unique design criteria. The deep
hollow grind means a very thin cutting edge with a razor-thin point
for piercing an reaching into tight places. The 440C is a highly
corrosion resistant martensitic stainless steel, and is tough and
durable and wear resistant as well. I've engraved my client's design
on the blade, an organic, wandering young vine motif with a natural,
relaxed appeal. I've hardened and tempered the knife to a durable
59HRC. The engraving extends to the 304 high nickel, high
chromium stainless steel bolsters and these are dovetailed and bed a
pair of beautiful and bookmatched lace amethyst gemstone handle
scales. The gem is tough and beautiful, with deep clarity in agate
transparency, and a tremendous amount of visual interest in
intricate detail that draws in the eye for closer inspection. The
tang is clean smooth and polished for easy maintenance and comfort, fully tapered for balance,
and the knife feels light and quick in the hand.
Sheath: For long lasting protection when not in
use, the Consus has a kydex tension fit sheath to protect the edge
and protect other objects from the cutting edge. I made it in double
thickness kydex, with kydex welts so the blade will never contact
metal, and it's bonded with waterproof cement and secured with nine 304
stainless steel Chicago screws, polished and beautiful for easy
cleaning.
A unique, striking, and useful custom paring knife for a very
special client
