Hi all,
This is one of my favorite patterns, favorite carbon steels and handle materials. It's a 8.75" (225mm) gyuto with a Wa style handle that should make for a great all around kitchen knife. The steel is Hitachi Blue #2 heat treated to RC63. Hitachi Blue is one of the best carbon steels you can buy. It is very fine grain steel and takes a very keen edge. It is getting very hard to source these days. The handle material is absolutely beautiful stabilized Amboyna Burl/blue acrylic hybrid with an epoxy ferrule.
SPECS:
OAL: 14.75" (375mm)
BLADE: 8.75" (225mm) long, 1.875" (48mm) heel height. It has been hand finished to 1200grit and then etched in FeCl. The grind is hybrid full flat/convex which is down to 0.008" before sharpening.
STEEL: 0.10" (2.5mm) Hitachi Blue #2 carbon steel heat treated to RC63.
HANDLE: Stabilized Amboyna burl/blue acrylic hybrid with epoxy ferrule and black and blue spacers.
Price: $425 Shipped USPS in the CONUS, international buyers welcome, shipping extra.
Paypal, check or money orders accepted.
Post "I'll take it" here in this thread and then PM or email me for arrangements. I have this posted on Instagram as well. The first time stamp has priority.

Thanks for looking!
