Getting reacquainted with the power hammer and testing out my new batch of wrought iron.
Wanting to do more integral yo handle gyutos going forward.
185mm, 52100 and wrought iron. Stabalized black palm scales.
Haha, have a few prototypes hat have a touch of warping that would need to be straightened ou

I don't think yo handle integrals is a good direction to head in...
...for my wallet or my marriage, that is.
Were the steak knives any harder or significantly different to make than a normal size knife? For some reason I'm imagining smaller knives being more difficult to make.

Very nicely done

Ahh, somehow didn't see your comment! Sorry for the late reply.
I try to put in the same level attention into small knives as big knives, so I found myself going back touching up small things repeatedly, haha.
I wouldn't say more difficult, but they definitely take more time per knife for the size compared to a larger blade.
No worries.
That makes sense. I guess that's what I was envisioning. Small package, same effort.
New knife above looks great. Choil shot looks real nice

Starting to make some titanium offsets for the pro cooks. Just using some nice one-off pieces of wood that I have sitting in the shop.
So uh... I have two words...
1. Fish
2. Spatula

Those are nice! My 4” offset is one of my favorite baking tools, one of those would be a sweet upgrade.
If I were having a better month I’d definitely be on one of those spats. Hope you produce more in the future!
I really hope you will be making more!

Hmmmm. Might need to borrow some. Tools from a friend's shop to make that happen.
Use my offset so much in pro kitchens. Tasting, stirring, plating, getting final drops from vitamix and delis, breaking down boxes, opening vacuum bags.. Haha, seriously too many things.
Have titanium incoming! Have a big box of wood that I've collected, so will have some interesting handle choices as.

Did a new batch of titanium offsets.
Working on some more san mai knives and a dammy billet that I'll be forging out today and tomorrow.

Ryan, can I ask what your handle dimensions usually are? Height and width I'm meaning.
Always gorgeous work!

These 270s are at 22x18 at the tip, 23x19 at the end.
My current 230s that I have left are at 20x17 and 21x18 at the end.
Thank you.
Lookie lookie at what just showed up to my desk at work this morning...
And it's not another knife or rock, so my wife can't get mad at me this time. Right?

Damn Ryan those are gorgeous and won't last long. Congrats on the integral work, looks great! But I love that 200, just my personal tastes. Simple but gorgeous lines.
They all look great, but the profile on that 238 and the integral are fantastic.

Had this come in yesterday. Will be testing it out and hopefully getting some san mai blades available soon.
Looking forward to your opinion about it. I've had very good experience with ApexUltra as a user.
Would love to hear your opinion too, my limited user experience is good, tho I heard it is hard to forge.

Small preview of this small k-tip petty. 52100 core, tamahagane cladding.
Will get it a handle in the next few days.

Had some offcut pieces of titanium from the spatulas, so I made a small batch of titanium gyuto earrings with sterling silver hooks (aka I made a set for a girl and made extras).

@RyanDGeiger
Alright. Finished up a batch of san mai and some more offsets (cough, available on my etsy, cough)
Time to catch up on a couple of requests and then I'll be forging some apex ultra.
