My first wrought gyuto

[Uncle Danny]

I’m currently working on polishing the first knife I made together with another guy. It’s forged warikomi style with wrought and O2. We did the forging together, then he did the grind and as stated above, I’m now on the polishing team.
It needs a handle and some Uchi finger stones for the last few touches.

It’s not without it’s flaws, but I’m actually pretty proud

Let me know what you think

[Uncle Danny]

I like how deep the texture is, nice looking profile too.

 

[Uncle Danny]

Thanks. I’ll try to pull out more contrast before moving to the finishing touches with fingerstones, but I’m not quite sure how much I’ll be able to get out of it. Time well tell I guess

Super impressive work there. Any idea of the hardness you were trying to achieve with the O2. William Catcheside went through a period where he used O2.

Thanks a lot.
The theoretical assessment is around 61. I haven’t given it an edge yet, so I have no idea how it feels. But I look forward to actually start using it

Looks fantastic, great profile.
I can't wait to see it finished up and handled.

Congrats for this! The polishing look awesome, blade is elegant and a really nice project

 

[mockit]

There is a lot to like about that knife! You should indeed be proud. Really nice work mate!

 

[Uncle Danny]

Thanks a lot everybody. I really appreciate it and of course pushes me to finish this to as high a standard as possible A bit of pressure never hurts anybody

 

[Uncle Danny]

Haven’t decided on a handle yet, but this is close to being finished. Still needs an edge, thought.
