Hey KKF! I received a custom gyuto about 5 years ago and has been stored away . It needs some work such as reprofiling , thinning, and some bolster work. Its in 52100 and HRC 60+ . If anyone knows anyone that can do this for me, please PM me. I can send pics . I reached out to Dave M about a year ago but he declined saying that there is an unwritten law for knife makers to be tampering with other customs. Im not sure who to ask without offending them so kind of stuck here.
Knife details:
210mm heel to tip.
2.3 mm spine thickness at heel tapering super thin to the tip
Handle : oval amboyna burl with brass bolster and ebony ferrule.
Profile : huge belly almost like a zkramer with no flat spot.
Steel: 52100
Im on a budget of $150 to have it reprofiled to a flatter edge, ktip conversion, and needs major thinning at the edge. The bolster will also need to be trimmed a bit since it sticks put a little akwardly behind the choil
