Another winner Mert

 

Darn sexy looking knives, Mert!!!

 

Thanks

Thank you brother for all the encouragements

 

Something special in works , I am going to try to finish it before my USA trip
190mm sumingashi gyuto forged from takefu shiro San mai billet , water quenched , a quick grind and etch to see the pattern , so far so good , I am happy





How about blue dyed maple burl and blond horn d handle with copper spacer ??? Any other suggestions ??

 

Looks promising! The handle sounds nice.

 

BAK...... Yea buddy..... I like the handle suggestion, as well!

 

Getting there

 

Yea Mert, get you some!!! ***** SPECIAL *****

 

Oh sh...t ,, lamination line starts to look craaaazily beautiful.. If the nose drops a bit like santoku, small handle, and a tiny exposed machi .... I'm just dreaming.

 

Dam Mert that is going to be a looker! I'm watching like a hawk...

 

Amazing work, Mert. You've been making knives for how long?

Just amazing

 

Just bit over a year

 

190mm sumingashi gyuto in takefu shiro core , around 62hrc , 2.68mm at the heel , 45mm tall , 158grams in weight . The handle is d shaped dyed maple burl , nickel spacer and buffalo horn




I think it will qualify as thin behind the edge

 

No wonder, core is exposed so much in there first picture. I just heard a story that anorexia is partly to be blamed on genetic code, op

 

Chanop in my limited experience I found that forging San mai is actually quite difficult , counting the strikes so all three layers move same and keeping the core in the centre etc , watching it carefully etc. I am happy that core is in dead center .Due to the left side being more flat more steel is exposed . Other than a small point size of a lentil at the heel on the right side , no core steel is exposed above lamination line , so far I am happy with this one

 

Looking good! Great to see your knives evolving over the months

 

Outcome looks pretty good. I was just saying that high lamination line == anorexia blade, geometry-wise.

 

Pretty cool looking knife. Not as nice looking as mine, but still nice :BF

 

Thank you , spine is thick despite the thinness so food release is still good

 

235mm workhorse gyuto in Aebl , with asymetric grind for right handed use , my favorite combination of handle ; western , ringed gidgee and brass . 50mm tall at the heel , 2.80mm at the spine , 235grams






I can say my fit and finish are getting better
