Yanag/etty

so im working on a single bevel but think i made something thats not anything. 210mm edge 4mm spine 36mm heel built for WA hand;e. is there a name for something like this
the front bevel was ground on my 48 inch platten as was the back

 

Is not it very similar to a 7 sun yanaigba?

 

mine is a hair thicker spine then i guess i can do a bit more thinning on it. never saw a shorty like this before

 

I used to own a single bevel Shig petty. It was literally a 160 mm Yani. But called a petty. I just called it a yanagibetty. Because I like Betty's(greaser lingo).

 

How did that one feel? Should have been quite a good peeler I would guess.

 

It would have made an excellent garde manger knife...

 

The technical name is Giveittohaggises

 

set calipers at .55mm and scratched the marker off to see how far up the blade .55 ended up looking good i think

 

Agree

cant wait to see the knife finished. I have always loved a very lengthy yanagiba but this one may be something more to be desired. butch your work is always amazing. keep it up!

 

Because I'm a human, I don't eat plastic bags very often, but the cutting was impressive. Hope my mini-gyuto will be able to cut that well.

 

i try to make sure that all my knives are as sharp as i can get them before they go out the door

 

and here are the finished shots for you all i ll get the specs in a bit

 

By the way guys, this beauty is for sale...just send me a pm.
