250mm 14C28N stainless gyuto with koa

[Michael Black]

Blade: 250mm (10") 14C28N steel, hardened to 60+ HRC.
Handle: Hawaiian Koa with Tru Stone spacer.
Height: 2" (50mm) tall at the heel
Price: $315 USD shipped CONUS. I'm open to international buyers as well, but please contact me for shipping options.

This is what I consider more of a laser grind, with a slight convex to it. Hand sanded 600 grit finish. The balance is right where you would hold it using a pinch grip, so it feels very nimble for such a long blade. It has a rounded spine, and a rounded/polished choil for comfort.

Reply here with your email if you're interested, or send me an email to blackcustomknives@gmail.com and I'll send an invoice that can be paid online.

Thanks for looking!

My apologies! I misunderstood that rule when I read it the first time. I'll edit my listing.
