Hi all,
I have a pretty amazing 9" gyuto up for sale here today. The steel is CPM Magnacut heat treated to RC62-63. This has become one of my favorite stainless steels. It has a near perfect combination of edge retention, toughness and stain resistance. I wanted to pair it with exhibition grade wood and this K&G stabilized curly Koa fits the bill. It has beautiful chatoyance and depth of figure. It's nice and light and very nimble weighing only 195gm (7oz) This should be a great all around kitchen workhorse.
SPECS:
OAL: 15. 0"
BLADE: 9.0" long, 2.0" heel height. It has been hand finished to 600grit. The grind is hybrid full flat/convex which is down to 0.006" before sharpening.
STEEL: 0.098" CPM Magnacut stainless steel heat treated to RC62-63.
HANDLE: K&G Stabilized curly Koa with African Blackwood ferrule, black micarta and white G10 spacers and black carbon fiber pin.
WEIGHT: 195gm (7oz)
Price: $450 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.
Comments/Questions/Critiques welcome.
Thanks for looking!
