SOLD MSicard Cutlery 225mm A2 Tool Steel (SKD12) Gyuto

[MSicardCutlery]

Hello All,

3/3 for the batch, A2 tool steel. I haven't used much A2 but I can definitely see myself using it more in the future. The blade is very thin, and easily nail flexing.Every once in a while I'll finish a blade where it just seems like everything went together perfectly. This is one of those blades.

Blade: 224mmx51mm A2 (63-64hrc) 600 grit hand finish
Neck: 20mmx17mm
Handle: Birdseye Maple and Bloodwood, oil finished and waxed
POB: 36mm from the handle
Spine: 3.54mm at the handle, 2.73mm at halfway, .51mm 1cm from the tip
Grind: flat to convex 50/50
Weight: 158g
Relieved choil and spine
Edge: .14mm@1mm, .29mm@2mm, .44mm@5mm, .73mm@10mm from the edge, measured at the midpoint,


Asking $530 CAD equivalent (approx $390 U.S) + $28 U.S shipping. As always, if this blade is purchased in conjunction with another I will happily deduct the shipping off of the price of the other blade.

Thanks for looking!

-Matt

Matt, I can’t ever keep up with all these steels. Is a2 semi stainless? Is it more easy to sharpen or more wear resistant?

That is my style, tempting to add another of your knives.

Thank you all, this one is SPF.

A2 is essentially American made SKD12. It's semi stainless. It has 6% CrC just like AEB-L, so it'll be as easy to sharpen as steels like that (AEB-L, 14c28n, Ginsan).

Good luck to the buyer. Seems like a really nice package

Probably my favorite steel as a user when sharpening is included.
