Hi all,
I'm reposting these two beauties for the kitchen. They are a bit of an odd couple with one being AEB-L stainless and the other Hitachi Blue #2 carbon steel, one of them western and one Japanese Wa style handle. Both would make great additions to your kitchen arsenal, however.
This one is a Wa handled K tip gyuto in Hitachi Blue #2 steel at RC63 and the handle is stabilized Redwood Burl with an African Blackwood ferrule. It has copper and black G10 accents. The blade is finished to 800 grit and is a compound full flat/convex grind to aid in food release. It's down to 0.007" before sharpening.
SPECS:
OAL: 325mm (12.75")
BLADE: 165mm (6.5") long, 41mm (1.625") heel height. The blade has been hand sanded to 800 grit. The grind is compound full flat/convex. The edge is down to 0.007" before sharpening. The spine and choil are rounded for comfort.
STEEL: 2.5mm (0.098") Hitachi Blue #2 steel heat treated to RC63.
HANDLE: Stabilized Redwood Burl with African Blackwood ferrule. The copper cap is textured and it has Black G10 and copper spacers.
Price: $275 now down to $250 Shipped CONUS, international buyers welcome shipping extra.
Paypal, checks or money orders accepted.

Thanks for looking!
I took some new pics of the first one which is AEB-L steel heat treated to RC62 with cryo treatment. The handle is Spalted Asian Ebony and African Blackwood bolsters that look terrific together. It has black and white liners and black pins for a classy touch. It's just the right size for all your everyday home cooking needs. Here are the specs:
SPECS:
OAL: 320mm (12.5")
BLADE: 190mm (7.5") long, 50mm (1.97") heel height. The blade has been hand sanded to 800 grit. The grind is compound full flat/convex. The edge is down to 0.007" before sharpening. The spine and choil are rounded for comfort.
