Hello All,
It's been a while since I posted my last semi-custom honyaki gyuto. Truth be told W2 is a bit of a different animal than 26c3, and it's somewhat more prone to cracking so I haven't really used it since that last one...until now. I'm still trying to get things dialed in, but things are looking promising. This blade is modeled off of my sabatier pattern and displays an irregular gunome hamon with excellent activity in the ashi as well as banding in the unhardened portion of the blade.
As with all semi customs the prospective customer has their choice of the handle material and handle style.
Blade: 224mm X 53mm W2 Tool Steel (65 hrc) 1200 hand finish + loose abrasive
Neck: 18mmx18mm
Handle: TBD
POB: TBD
Spine: 2.53mm at the handle, 2.14mm at halfway, .39mm 1cm from the tip
Grind: full convex right hand bias
Weight: 100g
Relieved choil and spine
Edge: .15mm@1mm, .22mm@2mm, .38mm@5mm, .66mm@10mm from the edge, measured at the midpoint,
Asking $475 U.S + handle + $30 shipping. As always, if this blade is purchased in conjunction with another I will happily deduct the shipping price of the other blade.
Thanks for looking!
