Giveaway - Takagi Honyaki Gyuto Collaboration

[Dave Martell]

Through a generous donation made by Karring (Mr Drinky) we have a 240mm Takagi Honyaki Gyuto to giveaway! :thumbsup:

Karring thought that it would be nice to do some additional work to this knife to make it even more appealing and he came up with the idea to involve some of our own craftsman for a collaboration project.

The sharpening and bright shiny mirror polished bevel was done by Eamon of Burke Cutlery Services.

The new wa handle was made by Stefan Keller of JapaneseHandles.com

And finally the handle was installed by yours truly.

I want to thank all of these guys for their generous donation of time and money to put this together. They did so selfessly, simply to give to the community - good show men!:doublethumbsup:

Hey, that came out nice, can I play too? Just kidding, good luck everyone. In case anybody is wondering, the handle is kingwood with a lightly spalted maple ferrule.

I'm in. Beautiful work! I think it's the Takagi honyaki not Kakaji or am I mistaking it for another knife/falling trap to one of those OEM situations?

Frankly, I had the easiest part. Eamon, Stefan and Dave made it look sexy and put in the sweat labor. Thanks again for the upgrades guys.
