Custom Knife Making: The Chef Knife

Thank you for joining me on my channel. Today, we will be making a Chef knife with a differential heat treat (Hamon). I made this knife using 3mm 1095 steel for the blade, 3mm steel pins and Stabalised Matumi wood for the scales. Feel free to use whatever you have available or prefer.
