Description: Pacific Northwest bladesmith Dale Miller forged the damascus blade from 1080 and 15N20 carbon steels (Hrc 62). The blade is this with an aggressive distal taper, yielding a thin dress knife that disappears into the pocket. The blade has smooth action with a half stop. It is easily opened using the right-handed thumb nick.
Black and white ebony handle scales are vacuum stabilized. Black and white ebony (Diospyros malabarica) is a distinctive, rare true ebony, that grows in Southeast Asia and Laos. This variety of ebony has black variegations flowing through a pale background. It is an incredible wood with amazing contrast. The back spring is 1080 carbon steel, tempered to Hrc 48. Liners and fluted bolsters are 410 stainless steel.

About the Maker

Miller, Dale

Dale Miller has been making kitchen knives since 2015 after many years of working in wood, building musical instruments, speakers, hand planes, and other pieces. He uses knives in the kitchen, regularly making charcuterie and tsukemono (Japanese pickles) and uses this experience to inform his knife design and execution. His mission is to make functional, beautiful knives out of the best available materials that are to be used every day in the kitchen. Miller believes that attention to detail and personally executing all steps in the process are keys to exceptional knives. He collects exhibition-grade renewable woods for handles and especially enjoys working with curly koa, ebony, fiddleback myrtle, Honduras rosewood, cocobolo, and highly figured madrone from his firewood pile. In his Washington studio, he has complemented his collection of woodworking tools with variable speed grinders, knife vises, a gas forge, anvil, arc welder, vacuum stabilization chamber, and many hand tools. Dale has a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Washington, and is a consultant and systems engineer for advanced 3-D airborne sensors.
