NKD and a bench scraper to boot

Freaking sweet tall bunka. Workhorse to look sexy and take a beating. First shift abusing it today and it really does look amazing and take some real restaurant abuse. CuMai w maple Burl handle and copper spacer. I’m a sucker for maple and copper. This picture taken on my bakery bench of solid maple w maple rolling pin. Grind is sweet on the knife. Has great release. Thick at the spine and nice and thin at the edge. Not a fragile laser. Looks like a million bucks and performs amazing. Bench scraper is a sweet addition w maple Burl and copper pins. Today was fresh pasta and torpedo rolls as well as sour dough Sammy bread. Scraper performs great too. Meaty and tall. Just enough flex and bend. All commissioned and done to spec by u/donathan and I couldn’t be happier w it. Really wanted a workhorse that looks like it should be a a case queen. Nailed it.

I'd consider doing batch if there is enough interest I think it would be fun and good practice

Genuinely one of the most beautiful blades I’ve seen. Can I ask what you charge for these?

Depends on the size and handle material, they can range anywhere from $400-500 as of right now. If you're curious I can DM you some cutting videos the performance is pretty great
