I have this absolute beauty available. tested and tweaked on the stones, cutting beautifully with fantastic release. Bevel is stone finished and finger stones to highlight the very high layer double carbon core. You can work the whole bevel on these with a high grit stone then just blend with the grit and finger stones, its a practical beauty;)

Hope the photos show up the way these are forged, the difference in thickness between the spine, top of choil and the bottom of choil, centre of the knife is about 2mm, and very softly hollow down the centre of the knife.













Also have a fully ground blade version Semi Custom - For you to choose your custom handle options.
Left to my own devises I would probably go western on this one, with sterling silver and something very dark but up to you :)




Thanks All have a great weekend.
can purchase now on my site
 
The forged Knife is currently available on my website...

Awesome video! Also I was browsing the shop and this shot definitely falls in the category of choil porn. Shigefusa step asie:

Honestly Will, those videos are genius for sales. I was not interested in the 185mm until I saw the video, and now I also want this 240. One thing at a time I guess.....

Definitely, also I can say Will's blade is easily one of my best cutters...I'm definitely on the hunt for another Catcheside.
 
If you have any small gyutos coming up. I think I might have to get one! +/- 200mm
 
Will, would there be any chance to see an EU passaround? I would love to try one of your gyutos.
 
Thanks all for your comments. :)

F-Flash I have a few 200mm Mono gyutos coming up if thats of any help.

Matus, thanks , you should get to the Gathering sometime, I use these events as a sounding board for feedback and trying new developments. I sold out at the last one if that tells you anything :)
 
I'd be interested in a mono, if you have any more of those coming up. what steel do you typically use for them?
 
The Monos are plain old 01 but with my special ht, this brings the hardness in line with my damascus @ 64/65hrc. I often use 1.2442, which is a bit like blue one with a tad more tungsten. I use this often in San mai also @ around 65 hrc for chef knives.
All nice to sharpen even at these hardness, which is why I like carbon, I do stainless clad sometimes though:)

What I will do then is put the mono blades up as semi custom on my site on Friday. There should be a finished one up on Friday, but if you miss out you can sign up for one of the upcoming blades. Make sure your in my mailing list, I send a quick shout out when something is available. :)
 
Yes - I actually wanted to get to learn more about that gathering of yours. How often do you organise there? I have a little tight vacation schedule this year, but might manage to get a few days off (means without the rest of the family) later in the year so I might actually have a chance to take part if you would plan some more. I am going to join that mailing list of yours right away.

If I mat ask - where do you source the 1.2442 steel? I am curios about trying it out, but did not find it in Germany (I am limited to stock removal though).
 
awesome thanks. what do those typically run price-wise?
 
Nominaly around £360 for a 200mm with fairly simple wa.

For the blanks I will put up as semi custom - for custom handle So will price the blades as 15£/cm, then your handle choices and shipping are added on top of that.


Matus, Maxim is organising one for August next, will be a good one :) You can sign up if there are spaces left on his site and Facebook.
Im afraid 1.2442 is not something in regular production. It used to be used as an hss steel.Now only re-rolled in tiny batches for blade smiths.


Cheers

Will
 
cool, thanks for the info. looking forward to seeing them!
 
Well done you got in first, so next weeks one is yours, still 4 spots remaining, thanks all :)
 
cool! they are going fast, that's awesome. I'm stoked to finally get to play with one of these in person.

Picked up a few pieces of this Yellow box gum for those requesting stock wa handle option, used it before comes up lovely with a few coats of oil and very naturally stable.
 
Ah thanks lets try this way...



And got some wenge for ferrules
 
Mono Pre-orders - I have two blanks remaining, see my site for details, my site has stock control so don't worry about clicking, it will not let you buy when they are out of stock. This will be the last of these for a while!! lots of work, but the results are very worth it in results.
First two done and dusted, well one and a half, just waiting on horn for your handle Damage.

Here is Trevors 200mm Mighty Gyuto getting the final stone finish. Knife is honed many times during grinding then finishing, all stones used on the lower bevel, no sad paper, makes a big difference to perfecting the final compound geometry.......And a a bonus looks rather good too, a kind of graduated stone finish up the lower bevel by the time its finished, It shows its workings as a process.

Beginners - this does not mean you need to have an established collection of stones to maintain these! Its already done, and will make it much much easier when thinning is necessary.

Anyhow some pics ;)





The stock handle wood turned out nice, have a few more blocks like this for last minute takers.







Finally Just finishing a rather nice western handle for this damascus 240mm







I sat in front of the telly now working my way through the grits on it :) Will be listed on my site and will notifications, tomorrow or shoot me a PM. This is one of the damascus forged knives, the fully ground one, a 250mm :D
 
looks great sir! stoked to finally get to handle a famed Catcheside in person!
 
50mm ;) Relatively tall for a little Gyuto, Just about purfect mighty one :)
