Gyuto and funayuki damascus kitchen knives

[Saul Kokkinos]

Here are two kitchen knives i just finished, a gyuto and a funayuki. Both are forged from a composite bar of 4 alternating twists with a straight laminate edge. They are both symmetrical double grind and full convex with a micro bevel.

Critique and criticism very welcome, it will help me make the next ones better!

These are beautiful! I would be proud to show these off every time I open my knife roll & as often as possible. Great work

I like them very much!!
The collar construction you used it's very interesting... a midway between a ferrule and habaki!!!
