WTS RDG 207x54mm deep etch damascus clad 52100 gyuto

[Illyria]

Hello!

Here’s the other blade that I had forged out and just recently finished polishing.

52100 core at 63hrc, with wrought iron and 15n20 Damascus cladding that was deep etched. It’s quite thin, but it has a nice sturdy/rigid feel to it.

207x54mm. 166g weight.

Desert ironwood burl handle with just a touch of sapwood, installed with hot glue for ease of removal in the future.


Price is $550 shipped CONUS, or first $30 covered for international orders.

Thanks,
Ryan

Haha, I made this batch for myself for home use so they all ended up at the same size. In the end keeping the worst for myself and selling the good ones

Might have found a connect to get some regular forge time in again. If so, I’ll get to making a few longer blades soonish.

What a cool unique knife!! The grind and distal taper look very pretty too

 

[Illyria]

Still available! The knife really is quite nice and cuts wonderfully, the with a nice nail flex across the entire edge, but manages to not feel fragile.

Profile and size were just what I wanted for myself, as I had originally planned on keeping it, haha. Perfect for brunoise and detail work, but can also handle bigger tasks.

The patina that forms is really clean and shows some more details in the damascus.

Awesome news. It looked fantastic. I'd have added it to my stable, but I'm holding out in hopes you do another integral.

Oh, and one of those fish spatulas I heard about

Just what I was thinking
