One of the gyutos I am working on, it is only rough ground 270mm in 52100 , yellow box burl , buffalo horn and white spacer

 

Looking good, as usual!

 

Not quite yet but hopefully it will

 

Love this one!

 

Again, that knife looks a lot shorter than 270 in that picture lol. Love it though .

 

It is lot bigger than it looks ok lol
The angle and my photo technique ( or the lack of it) makes it look smaller than it is , here is after I cleaned up some .
The other gyuto is getting a ringed gidgee and brass handle

 

Distal taper on the shorter gyuto

 

Love the looks of both of those. The 230 looks like a beast!

 

Just received my western handled, 52100 gyuto and I'm super stoked. Will give more of a review once I've had a chance to use it a bit.

 

It's weird seeing a ruler without inches on it, lol.

LOVE the distal taper my friend!!

 

Thank you Charles

 

Thanks Cris , i am hoping one day USA will convert to metrics

 

Our entire system would collapse. Seriously. What's even more hilarious, is that while buildings are built in inches (12 to a foot), and each inch is divisible by two (and of course four...1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16...etc), underground work is done in TENTHS of a foot. Yep, same one foot length, just divided by ten. And then the tenths are divided into hundredths. So one foot, is divided by 100.

You want to see someone go nuts, hand a carpenter an 'engineer's' tape with tenths, lol. I've seen whole sections of buildings done wrong with that simple mistake.

Anyway though, I've gotten used to working in metric on the kitchen knives...my brain almost automatically converts since I know 25mm is about 1". Oddly enough though, it messes me up all over again when it comes to my other blades.

Go figure.

 

Didn't think all about that

 

225 mm gyuto getting close , ringed gidgee and brass

 

Merl, sorry I've missed this thread! You've been busy.
Everything is looking great looks like your really progressing with your work.
I'll have to come down for a visit one day and steal some knowledge

 

Thanks Geoff , I am happy to admit that I don't know as much as want it to be but willing to share it all, if you or any other members in down under want to visit Hunter Valley please let me know

Bring on the 270 with the octagonal handle! Can't wait to see that one. I reckon it'll be the beastliest yet

 

You asked for it , here it is . I will be keeping this one for selfish reasons

 

DAMN!!!
