2x 240mm AEB-L+Ebony Gyuto

[huntingsgr8]

Here's a solid one. While not a true kiritsuke I did put a k-tip on it, mostly just for the sake of experimentation. It's hefty, but still cuts very easily owing to a very thin edge that tapers from approximately .1mm at the heel, to zero at halfway and remaining so to the tip. The grain of the wood picked up some brass while I was sanding in between coats of oil, I sort of like the look.

• Spine: 2.54mm at the neck, 1.91mm at 13cm, 1.15mm 1cm from the tip
• Grind: flat to convex
• Weight: 219 grams
• Relieved spine and choil

It picked up a few scuff marks on one side and appears to have a .5mm bow to the left, that can't seem to force out. On an unrelated note, while I was working on this knife it fell off my work bench and landed almost flat on a concrete floor. The only damage sustained was a minor dent near the heel that has since been erased.

This gyuto is a little beefier at the spine than I intended, but still quite thin at the edge. Interestingly when I was finishing the handle the open grain in the ebony became filled with little pieces of brass, and while I found it to be a detraction initially, I've come to appreciate the nuance. The crack that appears on the right side was filled with CA glue and then finished over as with the rest of the handle, and should remain stable. The tang is sitting epoxied into a dowel, that is in turn epoxied to the handle, and all of the spacers are epoxied as well as the pin.
