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:
