This is 240mm western handled gyuto that's a true laser. :spiteful:

So why is this knife being called a laser when I never call my knives that?

Well, this one was sort of a trial test thingy. I started with (slightly) thinner stock than I've normally used but then I ground the bevels up really high (3/4 blade height). I wanted to see how thin I could go while still being convex as well as retaining a rigid spine. I still don't have the answer because to know that would mean to have gone too far...LOL, but, I did manage to see what a really thin convex knife could be made by my hands.

Once I got the blade done I figured why not go for it and mount up a nice piece of amboyna burl to cap it off. :cool2:

Where that last butchur lacked sexiness this one has it spades, immediately jumped to Kendall Jenner so take that how you will. The singleness of the black pin and spacers is amazing. Talking about the wood choice is stupid as it's axiomatic. It's a real beauty. Definatly top non damascus Martell
 
I hate you.

Sorry Dave :(



Just ... wow.

Thanks Matus

OK I'll admit it, I had to look up "axiomatic" :D

Thanks!
 
It must have been one of the top few pieces I remember looking at, I still like the one I chose, but each is unique in its own way.

You don't see amboyna quite like this too often so this is pretty rare… and on the laser too :D


I know! I wish that I could score a truckload of this wood.
 
Awesome work as always Dave.

If only I had a place for a new carbon gyuto...
 
Someone take advantage...please! :)

I'm glad it sold, too, it's been driving me crazy. I would have jumped all over this but have so many irons in the fire right now that I am having trouble keeping up with what's coming. But, a Martell or two is definitely on my short list. In Gyuto I'm a 210 guy, if it had been a bit shorter I would have probably been holding it in my hand. Beautiful work Dave!
