Project Story

I am pleased to show this 2nd set of Custom Steak Knives. This set includes 12 knives, with an added hone/sharpener, and a can of Renaissance Wax. The display box was made from air-dried Kansas Walnut, that was cut at least 25 years ago, and had lots of pretty sap wood that was streaked with black spalting lines. I used a couple of knots to add turquoise-chip inlay. The overall design of this set is "refined-rustic," perfect for a western style, cabin style, log home, or cowboy chic designed interior.

The knives are held in place on their leather covered cradles with a board that bolts down with two nuts made from antler rosettes. The turquoise-chip inlay work on the walnut board is the first and last name initials of the husband and wife of the family that these knives are going to.

Here is a quick photo of the turquoise-chip inlay work. Just hammer the rocks into chips, fill the inlay, and glue. Course, there are some tricks, and pitfalls, but give it a try sometime.
