My Knives - #04 Gyuto 01
This is my latest beauty from the last batch. She's leaving for a new home tomorrow, but this time I had the time to do a proper photo session.
This one is really special for me for two reasons:
- All the materials in the handle were gifts from people dear to me.
- The abanos, or bog oak, is pretty unique: it was a gift from my college professor, and since he's into dendroarchaeology all the pieces in the gif bag were carbon dated :)
I won't bother you with text just the basic stats and the pics.
Gyuto in 1095 – differential heat treatment – hamon
Length 250/OA 410 in mm
High 60mm at the heel
Handle: stabilized/died maple burl, Corian, two-tone abanos (bog oak) carbon dated at 3400BP
I would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section.
Thank you for your support, and see you soon.
This looks like it would be really good for cutting up treats for me :D
All my knives come with a "certificate of authenticity" and a "K9 approved treats cutter certificate".
Excellent!
I think it's beautiful , love the details
I'm pretty sure it's more beautiful in person
Thank you so much. Yep, it's really hard to capture the real look with an amateur photo setup like the one I've got.
I mean you really did fine with the pic , but it's another thing to put it in your hand and get the feel of the balance and the grip of the wood handle really appreciate your work .

Looks good! The only kitchen knife I have made so far is a cleaver.

Hey, another fellow knife maker!

Thanks Rob, much appreciated!
Thats a pretty knife! and a very bold, beautiful and clear hamon. Who is the lucky owner of such a special knife?
Thank you, it was a brutal brine quench - hence such a sharp hamon. As for a new owner, my fan from Germany - that's actually the 2nd one that went to him.
Very beautiful! Hamon is amazing!
Very compliment for your job
A greeting, Nicola
Thank you Nicola, coming from you this means so much.
