International passaround

[Isasmedjan]

Hi everyone,

I’m finishing up a knife that i thought should go for a pa.
It’s a sanmai gyuto with lanchashire and nickel on the sides with 1.2519 for coresteel.

Measurements:
Bladelength 225mm
Height at heel 54mm
Thickness at heel 4,3mm
At middle of the blade 2,5mm
Approx 30mm from the point it’s 1,5mm
And 1cm from point it’s 0,7/0,8
Weight lands spot on 200grams

It’s slightly hollowground close to the edge except at the heel were it is more of a classic convex.

Handle is just plain curly maple that has been finished with trueoil.
Fit and finish on the handle leaves a bit more to offer at least from my own point of view, normally i would go for a little bit better finish but that’s not what i’m after with this.
First and foremost it’s performance i wan’t feedback on.

Rules are simple i’m thinking 20 spots with maximum one week per spot!


Hit me up with a PM if you want in, i’ll give you the details with shipping and some other rules.



(Having a hardtime taking a good choilshot i will probably post a better one later)

Wow, pretty quiet thread for a passaround. I’d love to participate. Nice looking knife btw. What’s the steel like? I’ve never tried it before.

 

[Jville]

Looks like an interesting knife, I'm down.

 

[KCMande]

Not sure how I missed this thread.

For some reason I thought this was outside the US for the international passaround. Just a home cook but I would like to be included if possible.

 

[Isasmedjan]

Thank you guys!

You are all in!

My plan is to send it out in the beginning of coming week!

I will send you all the details by PM later today i just need to clear my head a little bit, last night got a little bit too late...... those damn drinking games

There are still a few spots left!

 

[Gjackson98]

Count me in if there are still open spots! I must somehow missed it in the first place.

 

[Isasmedjan]

Spots are filled! I will include everyone participating in a mailinglist, it’s much easier for me to manage!
I’ll send out a email with info as soon as i get a chance to sit down!

Thank you!

Look who came to dinner...

Heft is very good, handle good, will make some big stuff into little stuff 2morrow.

I’ve never used a gyuto that was 225mm x 54mm. This is going to be interesting.

 

[Gjackson98]

Looking fantastic, can’t wait!

Dave, do you have the list, last email I got was Nov 20 and that didn't have a list with the order of participants.

 

[Matus]

I would love to take part if possible.

 

[Isasmedjan]

Glad to see it arrived safe!

Dave, do you have the list, last email I got was Nov 20 and that didn't have a list with the order of participants.

Sorry, my email has gone crazy, i sent the list last week but i recieved error message multiple times, i guess it hasn´t arrived to anyone? I will give it a shot again as soon as i´m home from work, otherwise i will post it here!

I would love to take part if possible.

Matus, you´re always welcome, i´ll let you in on the details later tonight. Thank you!

 

[labor of love]

Daveb wassup?

 

[Isasmedjan]

Yup, where is the knife at now? Haven’t heard anything in a while!

 

[daveb]

I've got it still. Rick couldn't receive it for a bit then I got crushed in the holidays. Will go this week.

 

[Isasmedjan]

Ah, ok, no worries

 

[Pensacola Tiger]

Looking forward to using it.

 

[daveb]

It's on the way to Pepsicola!

Gotta say I liked it. Very good heft, very good cutter. Food release above average. More reactive than I like (but then anything non-stainless is). When using a passaround at work I typically keep a Gengetsu within reach in case things get serious. Things did but I never was inclided to reach for the Gengetsu - the Isasmadjen acquited itself quite well. Would love to see a suji offering.

That sounds good! Let me know when it has arrived to you Pensacola.
Suji’s are coming up in a not so distant future along with some highcarbon-core stainless cladding, just gonna get them to stick together
Thanks Dave!

 

[labor of love]

Are you adding sujis to the passaround?

 

[Barmoley]

just gonna get them to stick together
Thanks Dave!

Try crazy glue or duct tape, I hear that stuff works for anything...

Yeah, i’m actually considering it, i’m tearing my hair over here

Delivered this afternoon.

A bit late answer from me but Thanks for letting me know! I see what Dave was talking about with the reactivity...

Have a nice weekend everyone

 

[Pensacola Tiger]

Passaround knife is on the way to Jville.

Thanks for the opportunity to use it.

I'll post my impressions this weekend.

 

[Jville]

Got it, looks bad ass.

 

[labor of love]

Got it, looks bad ass.

Let us know what you think of it after you spend some time with it. I’m worried because daveb liked it, and he only likes lasers
