New toys for the cook

jdMyers

Ordered two hand hammered knives.  A breaker trimming knives and a brisket carving knife.  S30v steel.  Well balanced.  A little thick but we will see.  Razor sharp.

Came with leather cover sheaths.  Excited to try em.

They sure are purty!

Beautiful.  Can’t wait to hear what you think of them after using them for a bit.

Cool new blades there! Mind me asking for at least a ball park price?

jdMyers

Not at all.  I answered an ad.  $150 for the knives plus the sheaths. And shipping

Man that's a deal, S30v is pricey.   Great looking knives man!

My Benchmade bugout is S30V.

Here's some history on that alloy:

Yep, I have had several Spydercos from S30v, darn sharp and easy to keep sharp which is even better.

My current ZT is S35VN...whoa mama.

Come to think of it, my Spyderco is S30V too.

Regarding the OP's knives, I wouldn't think it was a good alloy for filet/carving knife, one that you would want thin and flexible.  But maybe that's not how that knife works.

My internal thoughts were the same however sight unseen worth the gamble.  I sure will let you know though.  It's solid for sure but it's not ment to be a filet knife either.   If it will slice a turkey.chicken. or brisket clean I'm happy.  I want to get translucent thin.  Also want to shave some silver skin with it.
