Handforged kitchen knife made in my little studio. Style: Traditional chef's knife/ GYUTO Grind: Flat grind. The blade is really thin. Spine tapers from 2,7mm at heal to 1.6mm spine at the middle, 1,2mm just before the bevel starts on the tip. The thin grind means it will cut most of the veggies and meat super easily (won't wedge), but should not do deboning, cutting through bones or harder shells, different grind should be done for that. It feels like a laser cutting through stuff with almost no resistance. Downside to the thin grind is that food release is also not very good. Handle: Handle is bog oak, stabilized by me. The spacer is purple curly maple. It's octagonally shaped. The finish is a mat as I'm not the biggest fan of high gloss. If you like to have it shiny, please contact me as the handle can be buffed. Intended use: Multi-Purpose Kitchen knife. This means you can use them for just about every aspect of work in the kitchen. From mincing and chopping to dicing and slicing, a sharp and well-maintained knife can get the job done every time. Specifications; Overall length: 31,5 cm (12.4") Blade length: 19 cm (7.5") Handle length: 11 cm (4.3") Blade thickness: 2,7mm at the handle, 1,6 in the middle, 1.2mm just before the bevel starts on the tip Weight: 132grams (4.65 ounces) Grind: Flat (very light convex) Steel: 52100 or 100Cr6 If you are interested in a sheath for it, that is possible too. A wooden (Saya) or leather sheath is the option. I do offer lifetime sharpening. You send it back to me, I will also refresh (reoil, re-etch, re-sharp, etc.) the knife when back at the workshop.
