    I just finished up these two today.

    The top pictured gyuto shown wearing the maple handle is available for purchase.

    Length - 240mm

    Steel - O-1 @ Rc60-61 with cryo

    Handle - Highly figured maple (from Stefan) that's been cut opposite the way maple is normally cut to show a different view and it does that for sure. An interesting note is that the block didn't show any black in it before working it down to shape, that all just appeared from nowhere. You never know what lies in a block of wood. African Blackwood (from Burl Source) was used for the ferrule as well as a nickel silver pin.


    Price (each) - $575 (plus actual shipping costs)
    Payment accepted through Paypal invoice

    *Note - I'm also working on two more to be finished up in about a week's time. I'm almost 30% into them. Both 240mm gyutos in O-1. Handles are planned to be a dyed brown buckeye burl and dyed gray/green/gold redwood - both with African Blackwood ferrules. Yeah I hate working with both of these woods (and even sweared off of redwood) but both blanks are so sweet looking that I just can't ignore them any longer. If they come out nice it'll be all worth it.


    Thanks folks!
    Dave

    Here's some more pictures of the maple handled gyuto that's still (ahem) for sale. [​IMG]

    The pictures look blue(ish) and this sucks. I'm using a different background than I used to use and I think is causing the blue problem. As soon as I can get something to replace it this one is gone. Please try to look beyond the blueness, I hope that you can see the beauty in this knife regardless of this problem.

    Martell knives are built for performance. Purchase with confidence. [​IMG]
