I really would love to grab this blade for my kitchen but cant swing it right now. Do you ever offer anything similar in a carbon blade? Id gladly custom order this one in a carbon damascus or something like 15n20 if it were an option. Brad. bradass80@yahoo.com

I do gyutos with a kiritsuke tip occasionally but they don't have the false edge. I thought it would be a unique feature for the kitchen.
I don't have a forge (yet) so no damascus, but I use 52100 or 1095 when I'm using HC steels. Ordering a custom is always an option. You can always contact me at: ian@haburnknives.com

Thanks. The pics really don't do the burl justice. It has red, yellow, brown, and well-defined black spalted lines. Mother nature gets crazy!
