Finishing up a matched pair for chef's knives.
The gyuto is 230 x 52mm, in AEB-L stainless at HRC62. Thin laser grind, weight is 203 grams.
Spine taper is 2.5 2.4 1.4mm. Spine and choil are rounded.
The nakiri is 170 x 48mm, and 205 grams.
Nakiri spine taper is 3.2 2.7 2.0mm.
Sharpened on stones, finished with a Rika 3000, then stropped.
Western handles are desert ironwood and African blackwood, with G10 spacers. Tang is in epoxy.
Handles are contoured and shaped for a medium hand size.
Balance point is directly over the heel. These feel good to use.
Choil shot of the gyuto. The camera is slightly off angle, supposed to be symmetric.
I had to dull the heel, it bit me a couple times. A blood sacrifice was made for each knife.
Gyuto saya in stained mahogany, retaining pin is desert ironwood.
Nakiri saya in stained poplar, retaining pin is desert ironwood.
