165 mm Wabocho

Here's a new one for the kitchen! This Wabocho design is a great do-all knife in the kitchen with fine slicing geometry and a great sized blade The ergonomic hand shaped grip is very comfortable and meant to use all day long in the professional kitchen.

The vintage micarta has a nice feel feel, great grip and is just meant to be used. I used micarta pins to add a bit of contrast and strength to the handle.

The grind on this one provides excellent food release and slices like a laser. The blade is 1/8" thick with my straight razor inspired tall hollow grind for great combo of slicey geometry and no flex.

~11.5" total
~6.5" (165mm) Blade
~.125" thick blade

52100 Steel - triple normalized and sub zero treated for high hardness and fine grain

Vintage Micarta - from my special stash!

The grind is single bevel, right hand dominant with a small single microbevel on the beveled side for very aggressive and super clean cuts.

(it's the larger knife in the photos with two knives)

Hey thanks B! I was thinking of you when I ordered some more LVA carbon fiber the other day.. :D I still have that other Wabocho going but they alwys take e forever. :D The steel on these is seriously wear resistant! :cool:
 
Wow, so nice! If I weren't going to Japan on Wednesday I might have pulled the trigger on them... You're not planning any more budget friendly versions, are you?

Btw, do you have any favorite Japaneese makes I should check out when I'm over there? ;)

Hi ni1s! I was out of town and missed this!

My next budget friendly knife will likely be a Ti Backpacker Kwaiken!

If you can visit any makers in Japan that would be super cool!
