239mm Wrought SanMai Gyuto

[stephanfowler]

finished this blade up a while ago, I accidentally broke the tip off making it too short for the order. oops

it's all good though, blade finished out beautifully

239mm edge
47mm tall at the heel
just a smidge under 2mm thick at the heel
balances 23mm from the ferrule 180 grams

Bubinga and Cocobolo handle

Price $625


I am still working on forging the wrought all the way down to the edge, it's a pain but I'm getting better

It's beautiful.

What's the significance of forging the wrought all the way down? I have the opposite problem... but I've never attempted to forge a wrought san mai blade so thin....

The Wrought Patina's differently than the 52100 core

having the wrought all the way down to the edge leaves less of the vulnerable core steel exposed
