    Yoshihiro Gyoto (210mm) & Petty (135mm). Hammered damascus, VG-10, HRC of 59, Oak handles. Really liking the Japanese blades & western handles. A much better choice for first pieces of damascus wouldn't you say? Two different exposures: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4771/0266t.jpg...

    Your right about that, 48-50 is low. With proper care I think I could maintain it's edge. To me, the knife's design is unique among other customs I have seen. There is a sashimi knife with a HRC of 60 I'm looking at also...

    It has the profile of a chef knife with no sort of bolster that meets the cutting edge. Yeah, you could call it a kitchen knife.
