Finished this one up.

I actually have some knives sitting around doing nothing... so I might as well share, LOL. One of them was going to be my knife in the Shop Talk/Bladesmiths kitchen knife KITH this year, but I didn't finish it in time and still haven't made the sheath. I'm probably going to give it away as a graduation present to a friend.

I almost submitted this one for the KITH when I didn't have the one above ready in time:

Those look great! The handles Look skinny but if they feel good thats what matters.

Thank you for the kind words! :)

I'm hoping to get ahead at some point and have something to send out to participate in next year's kitchen knife KITH.
 
It might be fun to do a pass around between makers sometime. send me a PM if anyone is interested
 
Once again, I forget to take a picture of finished knife before boxed up...but here it is before handle is finish sanded.

Ok, Here we have a CPM20CV 255mm K tip Gyuto. Full distal taper, .010 behind the edge before being convexed to zero...secondary bevel is somewhere between 15-20 degree inclusive. The bevels are ground on a 48" radius platen. Handle is some spectacular ipe burl from Ben Greenberg. Heat Treat was done by Peters to RC 62.

Looks very nice Tim! Sounds like a difficult grind.
How did you finish the IPE?
 
I use a fresh VSM ceramic to cut all facets on grinder. Then use 150 grit red line and a steel backer to even everything up by hand. Refine the lines with red line 280 and the steel backer. Then I move to a leather faced wood backer and norton black ice paper up to 2000 grit. then a little drop of oil. the wood was actually pretty thirsty.
 
Very nice! I recently modified my work knife that has a 10 inch blade to a K tip and it works very well. I in fact use it for everthing rather than going to a paring knife.
 
Here is an absolute lazer. 2mm at the heel, 230mm long blade, full distal taper, ground to zero and 15 deg. inclusive bevels applied. Just a couple strokes on my nubatama 150 raised a burr. Refined with shapton Pros from 320 grit to 2K then 5K, stropped on a 10K imanishi. scary sharp.
