Okay, something else...
When I was in my artisan studies, we were given an assignment to design a kitchen knife.
Well actually it was supposed to be a 2-piece kitchen knife set with matching paring knife and a cook's knife.
My drawings got mixed up and our teacher sent a wrong drawing of the paring knife to the laser cutter, so I couldn't get it fixed and had to settle with only the cook's knife.
Here's an in-school studio shot of the knife I designed:
Kitchen Scimitar
It was designed based on the historic scimitar sword from the Middle East.
I wanted to keep as much authenticity I could, at the same time making it practical for use in kitchen, so I lowered the blade to prevent fingers from hitting the table, and also simplified the finger guard, making it way smaller so it doesn't get in the way of preparing food.
The blade is still two sided on both the edge and the false edge (Yalman). That can sometimes be practical when cutting fish and meat.
I managed to keep it fairly balanced, so that it is easy to chop with, although I would almost more prefer rock-chopping because of its curvy edge.
Edit: I almost forgot! I made the handle from hazelwood with birch embeddings, using a CNC machine.
Anyway, I think this covers my Kitchen Scimitar.
Do you have any designs of your own, have you created something you'd like to show us, please tell me and others in the comments below. :)
I'll be back with another post tomorrow!
If you liked the post, consider buying me a beer:
wow that blade is sick!
looks more like for combat then kitchen work
:D
Yea well that's kind of the idea of scimitar in the first place I guess. I wanted to create a really masculine set of kitchen knives so scimitar was kind of the only option. :)
LOL
Is it used as like a meat cleaver? I cant see chopping up vegies with that blade.
:D
Actually a friend of mine (a cook) tried it and said he'd probably use it with veggies most if he had one of these. :-o
LOL
it looks like it should be hacking off whole pig quaters in one swing not dicing some carrots.
:D
It looks great, I do not think anyone mess with you while you cook and have that knife. :D
The most difficult thing I have done is a boken, and I need some help in some parts of its manufacture, for example in the turning of the wood and the correct use of some tools.
I needed one for my aikido practices and here getting one of good quality is difficult
Cool! I want a bokken like that! :) I used to practice aikido too, Vera and I both. We used to love it, but after Leo and later Miro was born, we ceased to have time for training. I would very much like to start again though.
Yes, I am 7 years old training and I love it
Here you can see me using it :D
If you can, you should do it, train aikido to me changed life before training I lived very stressed and a little bit bitter :P
LOL
now that I think about it I should do a post about Aikido and how it changed my life XD
I haven't design anything as that cool as yours! I would love to have that knife! It looks very practical and useful..The curvy front of the knife looks like what Alaskan tribe people use..So cool...
It looks like a freaking weapon of the serial killer.
Wait, wait what are you going to chop at eh? :d
Take anything you want just spare my life.
Too bad you only got the cook's knife and not the full set. Still looks really cool though! Makes me want a real scimitar...
Haha thats looks more like something i would put under my pillow to fight off intruders, than something i will put in my kitchen to slice tomatoes for the salad xD.
Because we are talking about things we create, i hope you like this line follower i made back in 2014. I wish i knew about bitcoins prices back then.
that is so cool dude
What a neat little bot. :) Not at all like those chattybots we have here on Steem. :)
You get many intruders then? ;)
@gamer00 - Sir, better you try Rambo knife, this looks a battle knife... Good for me Sir... if my husband won't help me in kitchen works, I can use it :)
+W+
Great creation ...it s like a dagger.
Well not really... a dagger would be straight and has a very sharp point.
You've got a great knife. Unfortunately, I have nothing to do, I've been doing sports all my youth, but the boys did excellent stools at work classes.
This knife any program designed by?
I'm a designer, but I design logos and others ... not industrial tools .. I have published some of them if you wanted to see them
(disclaimer: I'm a full-on Free Software geek, Linux and stuff)
I used SolidWorks for this one. When I was in school, I didn't have good enough Free Software tools to creating good CAD designs, FreeCAD was good, but lacked in some aspects. I believe I could do the same design on FreeCAD today though. :)
I'll be checking on your posts then...
Frankly, your design is very cool, I did not see any mistakes
You have a good imagination
I wait for your turn to give me your opinion on my designs
Excellent creation in oriental style. When I was studying, we made crafts from wood, these are different things, houses for birds, not big chairs, and also beautiful wooden toys. Yes, there was time for creativity :) Thanks @gamer00
my school project : I designed a knife bag.
Cool! Do you have any pictures, I'd really like to see one! :)
It's been 10 years...Unfortunately
In the school as a project I made a big ass knife. Quote from every serial killer in history end of the quote Ha Ha, cool knife anyway, I liked that you didn't take a more traditional approach Cutlery knife.
Thanks! They are a dime in a dozen so I opted for a bit different approach. :)
Why do I imagine ninja with this twin blades ready to kick some aces.
Good job.I think it is more like a knife that we used to cut meat at our place
@gamer00,
In 2013 you made this knife! It looks like multi functioning knife! And yeah it can be use as a dagger anytime :D
Cheers~
not a bad design, dual blade made it extremely powerful as a knife for the kitchen & as a dagger to the battle ;) @gamer00
