Cheesy,

Hard to tell from the picture, but is that bigger knife hollow ground rather than the more common taper grind?

If so, that would make for an awesomely thin tomato slicer and general kitchen knife!

I will be testing a couple of Mike's fillet knives on flesh this fall and fish next spring. I've sharpened each of them to a different coarseness so that I can get a feel for edge retention between the two that were from the same heat treat. If sharpening them are any indication of edge retention both of these will perform at a very high level. Also worth mentioning is the blade geometry that comes from grinding on a big wheel. Both knives have a distal taper and are very uniform for such a thin grind. Both of these knives took a wicked sharp edge and I am anxious to try them out where the rubber meets the road. Vince, thank you for arranging this transaction. Mike, keep doing what you're doing because you're on the right track buddy.

Yes, hollow ground, and yes, I like my tomatoes thin on my sandwiches. I bought it for my 'wife' :), she sure does like it.....

will be interested to hear the results of your tests Chootem. Ole Mike sure does build a fine blade. I have one in 440V that ain't goin' anywhere soon. Someday I hope to talk him outa that wooden wheel.

Cant beat Mike's knifes for the price and what you get.

Chootem thank you and Dale you can always work on ole Rick for another one of those wheels. One thing I think that got Rick and I to agree on things so well is that we both like sharp knives.
I don't see why people carry dull blades. It is so nice to touch a something with a blade and see it pop apart.
Dad always had that two sided axe stone on the back porch and there was not any excuses for a dull blade.
One thing I can also thank Rick for was to see how thin he got his blades and made me strive to get them down to that point where they don't cut but man can they slice.

The hand might look familiar.

EdM that is my favorite pattern.

I just got this one from Vince and all I can say is WOW. I'll be using it this fall but until then I just take it out of the sheath now and then and just stare at it. It's that beautiful.

Thank you manydogs . I thought that handle turned out nice.

I have but one which I would like to share.

Jess sorry wrong Mike miller. He's out of Arizona.
He makes some nice knives also.

Oops, sorry about that - I should have looked more closely at the maker's mark.

Just saw a table full of Millers at the Wanenmacher.

Never been to that show. I think nowadays I'd like to go to it just to see the knifemakers more than any shootin' irons that were there.

Antlers I would even get you in on me!

Mike, you a butt head. A man had to pass on a knife, said he had already spent his budget. And pulled out. NOT 1 BUT 2 Mike Miller knives. You greedy hog. Lol. Congtas on the sale.

Hey wait until I do the custom order he wants of 8 knives. Haha
