SOLD 205mm SheffCut Honyaki Gyuto (Semi-Custom)

[MSicardCutlery]

Hello All,

Here's another honyaki from a batch of 4 I've been plugging away at. This is one of my wilder and unruly hamons that really just did its own thing and didn't follow the clay at all. The results however random, are quite a spectacle to behold. Aside from the hamon itself, the blade also exhibits impressive banding.

Once again I'm offering this in semi-custom format. The neck length, POB, and handle are all at the creative liberty of the buyer. Attached are pictures of available handle material blocks (Note: cherry, ash, maple, and burned oak are also available, and blocks #370, the pink and blue block, and the pink and grey block are taken)

• Blade: 204mmx53mm SheffCut 64-65 hrc. 2500 grit finish, etched and polished to reveal the depth of the hamon
• Neck: 16mmx??
• Handle:?
• POB: ?
• Spine: 2.78mm 20mm back from the choil, 1.91mm at halfway, 36.mm 1cm from the tip
• Grind: flat to convex RH bias
• Weight: ?
• Relieved choil and spine
• Edge: 13.mm @2mm, 21.mm@5mm, .45mm@10mm from the edge, measured at the midpoint,

For the blade itself I'm asking $375 U.S shipped with insurance anywhere in North America, (for shipping to Europe or Australia I will cover the first $25 U.S of shipping) $400 with an installed burned oak handle, ~$450-470 for a stabilized/exotic wood handle, +$80 for a pressed and stippled brass end piece. As always, if this blade is purchased in conjunction with another I will happily deduct $25 off of the price of the other blade.

A video link, because pictures just never do hamons justice:




Have a good day everyone!

That thing with some of that "fire" colored wood would be sweet!
