I recently posted a couple of hunters as different as night and day. So why not chef knives as well?
The Night Chef is Japanese style gyuto in 26C3 carbon steel with vivid hamon heat treated to RC63-64. The handle is stabilized Spalted Jatoba and African Blackwood ferrule. The balance point is just ahead of the ferrule and it weighs in at 225 grams.

BLADE: 220mm (8.5") long, 52mm (2") heel height. The blade has been hand sanded to 800 grit, etched in FeCl and polished to reveal a vivid hamon. The grind is compound full flat/convex to aid in food release. The edge is down to 0.007" before sharpening. The spine and choil are rounded for comfort.
