Knives for sale

I will be consolidating my knives for sale in this thread rather than opening up a new thread each time . Most of my sold knives are customs and every now and then I am making an extra knife here and there so this thread will be an active one . These knives will cost less compared to full customs since I have picked their profiles , steels and handles . Despite my best intentions I came to realisation I have to take some custom orders and with my combined full time work ( exec chef ) my turn time is around 5 months and with more incoming orders it doesn't look like it's going the be getting any shorter . If anyone doesn't want to wait that long and grab a gyuto , suji , line knife or nakiri , watching this thread may be helpful .
First two are already listed at http://www.knivesandstones.com/mert-tansu/
Sold
They are little shorter in height than my average gyutos but have good heat treatments and grinds , I haven't spend as much time on the finishing but overall they are very good cutters
This one is link to the ringed gidgee handled one , which is thinner

I have handled this knife, personally, well worth it at twice the price!

 

Thanks Al

 

Man, these knives are looking great! I'll admit though that I have developed a special interest in your western handles. Whoa!

 

Beautiful work!

Stefan

 

Is this the knife that was tested for food release, or the new steel you were getting?

 

Thanks guys

 

Mike , I had this knife with me but we didn't cut anything since I wanted to keep it new , the grind is similar to one you tested . The new steel should be already shipped home , I am hoping it is dry , we had apparently very bad floods last couple days , there is a chance it may be under debris in water

 

FYI....... Mert's D-handles are off the hook!!!

 

Both knives on knivesandstones are sold , I will be auctioning the takefu steel gyuto , all the funds will be going to my wood vendor who lost his shop , tools and all the timber he had

 

Flood damage Mert? Is that where my piece came from?

 

His shed caught fire and burned to the ground , pretty much all of my ringed gidgee was from him

 

just to remind there are still 3 san mai knives for sale at this link

Slight asymmetric ground , 3mm thick at the spine , 51mm tall , 250mm at the edge and around 62hrc . Handle is African Blackwood , Mokume spacer and buffalo horn . Handle is not glued in yet , can even convert to western ( extra $) if requested . First person to respond to this thread or message me will get it

Very nice. What steel?

 

For a guy who was going to give up on wa handles, you recent ones are beautiful. What's the wood Mert?

 

Thanks Rami , it is 1080/15n20

 

Thanks Mike , if I remember correctly you helped to make the steel at the hammer in last year the wood is mallee burl , another Aussie hardwood burl , I like it a lot . With a simple copper spacer .
