Got my latest addition from JJT yesterday.
223mmx58mm Gyuto, san mai puddle iron with TNT666 cutting layer.
Weight is 240g, balance point 35mm in front of the handle. Handle is heiliroom splint gidgee with boxwood ferrule and bronze spacer. Handle length 125mm.
Taper: 5.28mm at handle, 1.88mm center, 2cm from tip 0.83mm and 1cm from tip 0.45mm.
Completely nail flexing, laser at the front and user-friendly at the back.
Asymmetrical bevel. Left flank flat grind and shinogi higher, cutting edge very far down. Right blank nicely convex grind, shinogi deeper and cutting edge richer.
Forged slightly concave over shinogi.
Profile a little flatter but rides very well on the board. If only it didn't eat into the board like that. Foodrelease is really good, as well as an easy cut.
