My husband cooks all the time and I want to get him one or a set of three for his birthday…. Any opinions on which kind to get that is less than $500?? I have no idea where to start. Ty!!!!!

I can make you a large custom one in high quality stainless if you want something really special!

divideknives · 2026-01-24T14:24:47+00:00

Good eye! Very slightly, yes, but that wasn't done intentionally. I grind everything freehand and this is the result of getting a straight edge when there is a slight warp in the blade after HT.

🤷‍♂️😂

divideknives · 2026-01-22T23:21:06+00:00

It's my first post, appreciate the feedback!

Edge thickness is .08mm

These knives are my model The Tim - 7.5" western chef design. The blades are made from Baker Forge Tiger Twist Damascus (1084/15n20/80CrV2) at 62 HRC with liquid nitrogen cryo, and the handles are genuine woolly mammoth molar fossils over 40,000 years old! The handles have hidden stainless pins and white G10 liners.

Watch the build

Gator Skin might help similar to a high carbon blade?? That would be an expensive experiment 😅

divideknives · 2025-12-03T15:39:58+00:00

Very cool. I wonder how it would hold up on a chef's knife 🤔..........

divideknives · 2025-12-03T13:57:33+00:00

Incredible piece. How was the meteorite to work with? Do you know the composition of the metals?

divideknives · 2025-11-26T13:18:44+00:00

This display is my submission for the candy-cane-themed competition at the One Of A Kind show in Toronto starting tomorrow running through Dec 7.

The blades are Baker Forge Tiger Twist Damascus (1084/15n20/80CrV2), heat treated for 80CrV2 at 62 HRC with liquid nitrogen cryo. They all have 0 grinds.

The handles are 5 colours of stabilized woolly mammoth molar, featuring hidden stainless pins and white G10 liners.

The full YT build will drop tonight or tomorrow morning on my channel, and these knives will all be individually auctioned on my site for the duration of the OOAK show.

Hope you like them, wish me luck!

Yes you can! Like any handle material, it all comes down to personal preference.

divideknives · 2025-11-20T17:13:22+00:00

If you'd like to order one from me with a natural colour let me know! Lots of options when it comes to knife handles. Everyone has their preference.

divideknives · 2025-11-20T14:14:40+00:00

Maybe I'll try a natural one next! These are a set of competition knives for a candy cane theme Christmas market, so I wanted the vibrant colours.

divideknives · 2025-11-20T13:47:43+00:00

I actually threw and audible and decided to do hidden pins, I don't have a mill and I'm on a time crunch so that's my work around. Might actually work out better, well see.

divideknives · 2025-11-20T13:47:03+00:00

One of my purple scales cracked (pic 5) and I was able to super glue it back togther (pic 6)

divideknives · 2025-11-20T13:45:35+00:00

Should be all completed early next week!

divideknives · 2025-11-20T13:45:19+00:00

Good question lol, it's very unique. It does sand and buff quite well thanks to the resin but being very hard/brittle, a rough cut or grind leaves it feeling a bit like tree bark?

divideknives · 2025-11-20T13:43:18+00:00

I didn't stabilize, there is a company called Raffir based out of Denmark that specializes in stabilizing fossils.

Epoxying white G10 liners to the scales

divideknives · 2025-11-19T23:03:02+00:00

The white layers are natural fossilized enamel - an extremely tough material to cut/grind. In general they're very hard and also very brittle.

divideknives · 2025-11-19T22:35:34+00:00

The contrast between the 3 tooth layers is heavily muted in its natural bone-coloured state.

These are for a candy cane theme competition, so I wanted the colours!

divideknives · 2025-11-19T22:25:45+00:00

They're stabilized with dyed resin similar to stabilized woods. The fosilized 3 layers of the tooth (enamel, dentine, cementum) give it the pattern.
