Description
Available for purchase is this hand made gyuto. The blade was forged from W2 high carbon tool steel and features a differentially heat treated blade made in the hadaka yaki fashion, which uses no clay insulation during the hardening process and is done completely by eye. This process requires a more skilled and experienced smith to successfully complete and creates a unique and organic looking hamon line with interesting activity in the hardened section of the blade. The blade also features a convex grind and an aggressive distal taper from the bolster to the tip promoting food release and ease of cutting.
The handle is made from stabilized buckeye burl and fitted to a textured brass bolster. This rustic yet elegant knife is sure to be your go to piece of cutlery in the kitchen!
