Just finished these up last night.

Matched Set, Gyuto and Petty in Canary wood (genetically similar to purpleheart, it's a tulipwood)

Gyuto,

255mm blade
balances at the R in my mark, just in front of the heel.
Canarywood handle with Black Paper micarta bolster
.085" 2.15mm thick spine at the heel
.065" 1.65mm thick at mid point
54mm tall at heel

Petty,
this turned out a little longer than I was really going for, I intended to end up with about 165mm

176mm edge
balances in the bolster area
Canarywood handle with Black Paper micarta bolster
.065" 1.65mm thick spine at the heel
.055" 1.39mm thick at mid point
41mm tall at the heel

Very nice. If the petty turned out a little too long...just call it a "utility" and all will be well.

What's the steel?

dohhh, I can't believe I forgot that

it's 52100, multiple HT cycles because I wanted to try it and I've been VERY pleased with the results

Very nice knives. I'm a fan of the 52100 as well. Keep at it.
