Sold!
52100 Gyuto @ 63 hardness professionally heat treated by Jeff at TruGrit.
208 mm length
53 mm height at heel
3.5 mm thick above the heal with a full distal taper to the tip. (1.6mm about 2 inches from tip).
This blade starts out quite hefty, but tapers to a very thin tip optimized for slicing.
360 mm overall length.
227 grams with balance right at the choil.
The grind on this one is a good convex thanks to blade thickness. Edge taken down virtually to zero before sharpening.
The handle is one of my favorite combinations: Medullary ray red oak, with manzanita and real silver ingot spacers and blackwood ferrule. The oak is very well figured and colored. The oak has some slight inclusions here and there which is typical of this stabilized oak.
Handle is slightly large, with a modified octagon with corners rounded.
Choil and spine are nicely rounded as well for a great comfortable feel.
This blade was quite challenging to grind, but the results are amazing.
It feels robust and solid but the tip is thin enough for great slicing and actually flexes a small bit.
This should be excellent for tip slicing, but care must be taken here. This is for someone who knows how to handle the thin tip.
$275.00 PayPal ok.
