SOLD 240mm Joel Black Damascus Honyaki Gyuto

[Chang]

-sigh- Daddy Chang’s gotta pay bills and this baby has been sitting on display, used once, just chillin’. Figured I’d rather release her back into the wild for the cash. I know, I suck, but I’M BROKE, BEACH, I’M BROKE (truthful sarcasm(exaggeration?(jetfuelcan’tmeltsteelbeams)))

Unsharpened, comes with a bog oak saya. Just like with a lot of Joel’s work, the finish on this ain’t perfect. Hopefully you can pick up some of her “curves and character” from the video, but don’t pick this up expecting a flawless mirror.

Specs:

236x52mm
197g
Mystery Steel (I can probably ask Joel, will update later)
Bog Oak Octagonal Handle w/ Mystery Wood Spacer
Bog Oak Saya

Price: $750 SOLD

Damn, that's maybe the most tempted I've ever been by damascus, with that cute lil' hamon hiding under there. Someone's in for a treat

 

[chiffonodd]

Dang I dunno if I've ever seen damascus and honyaki together. Is it coreless?? Neat stuff.

 

[tostadas]

I don't even know what damascus honyaki means but dang...

 

[Blank Blades.]

Cool knife. Makes me think what two steels with low hardenability would be good for this.

...then think about the failure rate of the damascus blades when quenching the price is pretty good for however many they must have to remake after the quench. Though idk how much it was new.

 

[Gavva]

That’s a steal! A 210 Dammy honyaki sold last month for about the same price.

I want to see what @KasumiJLA can do with this

 

[DanielC]

Wow, cheap. Nice blade.

 

[Chang]

Just to update, she gone y’all

FWIW he and I are planning something sort of like this, but with a more complex hada and hamon.

 

[PPIIBBSS]

Well there it is. The most beautiful damascus I've ever seen.

I will be paying close attention to this

 

[HolyDiverScallop]

Daaamn.

 

[fortheloveofmoar]

Thank god. been going over budget so many times.

 

[Gavva]

Well there it is. The most beautiful damascus I've ever seen.

Look at the detail on the hamon. It’s serrated. This was on the 210 knife from JB last month. Pic from Joel’s post.

 

[Blumbo]

Wow I didn’t even know damascus Honyaki was possible.

Shhh!!! Don't spoil anything

Thanks l'ami! I think Joel did it nicely on this one. It could be a fun project indeed!
