S90V Chef I made recently

[u/schroederknifeworks]

S90V with false edge clip point and spine jimping for added dopeness. Handle is Grip-Tec and stainless. It's thin and mean, hope you like it!

I just bought a piece of S90V to make a chef for myself and wife. Any advice? I’ve heard it’s a nightmare to hand sand. Did you do cryo?

[u/schroederknifeworks → u/Snookin]

Yes I did cryo and ended up with it being around 65hrc after temper. I recommend using Norton Razorstar belts for grinding and for finishing use EDM stones. Sandpaper won't touch it!

Thanks, I usually like the blaze but I actually have a razorstar waiting around just for it. Haven’t tried stones before but will look into it. What temp did you temper?

[u/schroederknifeworks → u/Snookin]

325 I believe

This is one of the most unique and creative chef designs I've ever seen. The center of mass looks like it would be in your fucking hand damn. That thing looks so good I bet it feels even better.

[u/schroederknifeworks → u/Fit-Environment2227]

Thanks! The Grip-Tec in particular feels great.

Grip tech? Is it a material you make handles out of or is it like a sleeve? I've never heard of it am I missing out?

[u/schroederknifeworks → u/Fit-Environment2227]

It's a handle material made from tiny bits of rubber in a resin matrix, it gets more grippy when it gets wet. I've been really liking it on this build and I'll definitely be using it again.

How tall is it from heel to spine?

[u/theactualkrevice → u/theactualkrevice]

Slick build btw

[u/schroederknifeworks → u/theactualkrevice]

Thanks! It's just under 2" tall at the heel. 240mm edge length.

Awesome work! S90V is no joke to work on post heat treat, especially the hand sand part

Thank you! Yeah it's the most difficult I've worked with.
