Hey Steemians,
today I'll be showing my latest knife a 235mm Gyuto.
This is the last one from the batch, and I'll be starting a new batch this weekend.
It's not really finished - it's been dry-fitted, I need to get my makers mark engraved but the guys are on Easter vacation...
Anywho here are the stats and then I'll take you on her's journey from the heat treatment to the last dry-fit.
Lenght: blade 235mm, OA 410mm
Height at the heel: 61mm
Weight: 226g
Handle: from the blade - Ipe, bronze, stabilized maple
Just after heat treatment
Rought grind with 36 grit
First dip in the acid to see how the hamon turned out
After hand sanding to 800 grit
Got some cool stabilized maple from for the handle
Checking the handle fit before I take her to final shape
Final shape of the handle
How she looks now
Thank you for watching and drop me a note below if you have something on your mind
