Stone handled kitchen knives

Here are a couple of pictures of a kitchen knife set I did recently. I am doing two 6 knife sets for my son-in-laws for Christmas using Viking Knives (Gude) from Germany. The stone used is Leopard Skin jasper from Mexico.

My wifey puts all knives whe uses in the dish-washer.

Would your stone handles hold up to that ?

I would say that the stone handled knives are not dishwasher safe. They would bang around and potentially chip plus if water found a way to get behind the scales they would eventually come loose. When I need to remove them I put them into a pan of cold water and bring it to a boil until the adhesive weakens. I use loctite 324 and 325 which are designed to weaken for removal at about the point of boiling water.

Come on now Ken, don't you think you could wash a knife or two by hand yourself? :shock:

What's the matter, are you afraid to let the Mrs. see you with your hands in the dishwater? :lol:

Surely she won't make you do ALL those dishes! ::paranoid:: ::paranoid:: ::paranoid::

dudleythetogi - Greg,

Thank you for the compliment on my stonework. I do appreciate the kind words. I am pretty busy with the irons already in the fire but if things ever get slow I may just put a few posts up on that site too.

Thanks again...
