A beautiful gyuto handled in mammoth ivory by custom knifemaker Randy Haas. Very lightly used and never sharpened, only stropped.
Randy says this about the handle: "This material is very durable and makes amazing knife handles. It is smooth as silk to the touch, Yet has a unique gription that is superb. The feeling of this material is like nothing else you will ever feel. Over time the natural oils from your hands as well as the foods you prepare will allow the ivory to patina and more of its natural character will start to show."
The blade measures 240 mm from tip to heel, made of AEB-L.Hardened to Rc 61.
The spine is 2.75 mm at the heel tapering to 1 mm a inch behind the tip.
Measures 47.5mm tall at the heel
Convexed, right-hand grind.
The mammoth ivory handle is secured with copper pins and a single mosaic pin.
$625 includes insured shipping inside CONUS and PayPal fees.
