A little departure from my normal hunting knives. Here’s a nice pair of little kitchen knives made from CPM154 stainless and Opal G10. The blade design incorporates the traditional lamb’s foot shape and is highly useful. Rather than a straight cutting edge I put just a tiny upsweep near the tip. Blade length is 4” on these little cuties. I’ll be making more, as these two got gone before quick. The cutting board I made years ago utilizing floor joists reclaimed from my mom's old high school. Thanks for looking!

What's the wood species for the block? Old growth longleaf pine from the low country of South Carolina. Same species used for ship’s masts back in the day.

I wondered, given your location, if it might not be some variety of pine. Ship's masts... the "Kings Wood." I prefer a softer wood for boards, but that's gorgeous and certainly less hard than a lot of woods used for boards.

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

A Deba is a fish knife, fairly tall, and in Japanese tradition usually has a single beveled blade. It's a stout blade. Unlike your kinves, a Deba usually has a more pronounced point. A Santoku is a general purpose kitchen knife for slicing, dicing and mincing and has more of a blunt, dropped sheepsfoot type point like yours. Anymore they're mostly made with a 50-50 bevel rather than a traditional single bevel.
