Custom 240mm gyuto by Zack Jonas. I asked for his take on a River Jump because I thought I’d never actually get a River Jump. I asked for the design to be asymmetrical on the blade faces and for the pattern to flow organically. I think he hit the two targets pretty well. It’s a mixture of 1084 and 15n20, makes for a wonderful 300+ layer river. The “river banks” make a clean separation between the pattern and the rest of the area. After a few uses the patina really makes the pattern pop! Handle is made of Arizona ironwood and maple. The saya is made of the same maple as the handle spacer, nice touch for the continuity. I used to sweat and worry if I made a mistake on the custom. Now I have no regrets and love using it even if it’s not the top performing knife in my kitchen.

Just a simple knife appreciation shot of my current rotation. Thomas Moberg "axe" that can handle chicken bones and fine work, the Watanabe 190x39 sujihiki/scalpel which is another brilliant all-rounder just like the Knot Handcrafted 185 nakiri and the Kanehide 270mm gyuto. All have amazing price quality ratio incl the ubercheap Zwilling sheepsfoot paring knife.

What are specs on the Eddie nakiri? Thoughts?
I’m in line for another custom
Have a 165 single bevel nakiri from him that’s amazing
Trying to decide if I want a full size single bevel, forged s grind or traditional convex

Specs direct from Eddie
Specs:
180x63mm
238g
ApexUltra @64HRC
Desert Ironwood
Balance ~30mm from handle

It is exactly how I like my nakiri. Nice bit of beefy but no overly weighty. It has his forged in s-grind which helps with food release for bigger stuff. My only nit-pick thing is I wish the handle was a touch bigger around (and it could be a touch shorter to keep the balance the same). I would gladly order the same thing from him again.

Do you have a photo of that asymmetrical grind, or is it a true single bevel? I’m also in line for a custom and considering options!
