the kurouchi finish looks badass mert. lemme know more details about that knife please!!!!

 

Thanks

 

Thanks Brad , the core is 52100 , it's a small funayuki , it will be most likely for a giveaway , hopefully it will come out good

 

too bad you already ground it. you couldve made it into a single bevel funayuki!

 

Brad it is San mai ,for single bevel you need kata-ha ( ni-mai) construction where a cutting edge is made with a harder steel and single side cladding is soft . In this case I have hard casing on both sides and harder core in the middle

 

op ump :bacon:bacon

 

I have managed to make a good progress on the knife to be auctioned for my gidgee guy




Very thin behind the edge , excuse my bad angle



4 knives heat treated ,
235mm stainless clad 52100 gyuto
210mm stainless clad 52100 gyuto
160 mm carbon clad 52100 funayuki
200 mm takefu shiro sumingashi gyuto

 

200mm Sumingashi gyuto in takefu shiro core , brass , buffalo horn and amboyna burl . It's prior to hand sanding , still have to make the brass bit more shiny and apply few costs of oil

 

That is frickin' beautiful, brother Mert!!! Way cool. Did someone say Funayuki??? Oh Hell yes!

 

Damn... Your westerns are getting hard to resist. Great stuff.

 

Wow! That last one is special, Mert!

 

All of them are pretty special, yet the last one really looks very well balanced. Nice Job!

 

Thats a cracker Mert

 

Thank you all

 

Yes, that's a great looking yo handle.

 

I love watching your work just get better and better brother! That last knife is a knockout .

 

Thanks brother
