245mm W2 Honyaki XH Gyuto in Honduran Rosewood and Mokume

This knife was actually kind of an odd one. It had originally been a project for Mike Tran, and was already in process. Mike has switched his knife to something a little more unique though, and so this one came available. I happened to have a customer who was on my 'Fast Track' list and so was next in line. He grabbed it up, and here we are!



And here's a short video:



As always...thanks for looking!!

 

and he could not be happier with it!

 

Congrats to who ever got this truly a unicorn!

 

:cool1

 

I definitely want to checkout this knife when you get it, if you don't mind =)

 

This one came out pretty clean, I think. Hope the new owner has a good impression of it in hand.

 

Thanks guys . This was definitely a fun knife for sure. I'm really glad you guys are liking it

 

That wood...hmmmmm. Cris, does rosewood darken over time like ironwood?

 

It kind of depends on the piece Matt. I have some Thailand rosewood that hasn't changed color in four years. But other pieces of rosewood I have have darkened noticeably (though not excessively) in just a few weeks after polishing a face to see the figure.

 

You always seem to have the good stuff. Beautiful work.

 

Looks great, Cris! Somehow you made the mokume look very understated and classy. Well done!
