Multi-Purpose Serrated Kitchen Knives

Here are two multi-purpose kitchen knives I made. 
The blades are 440-C surgical stainless steel with a serrated edge.

The wood is pressure-sealed cocobolo wood with blank ink dye to contrast the lighter color.

The pins are 3/32" stainless steel.

These are some of my favorite knives!  They work for almost anything in the kitchen, and the large handle size is a perfect counter-weight against the also large blade.

All the raw material was bought from Jantz knifemaking supply.

I can make one of these knives in just under two hours; not including the epoxy dry time.  Making two or three of them at once seems to speed things up a little and is a more efficient way of doing it.
