A small green parrot
This one took ages to make so I'm proud to show it off! Honyaki gyuto 248mm edge length, 184 grams.
Made with a left-handed bias on both the grind and the choil rounding. I couldn't actually test this knife properly because I'm a rightly and it felt really uncomfortable haha!
I spent many long hours on the polish. I even messed up an earlier version of this knife at the polishing stage - tried too many times and it got really thin. I had to stop chasing the hamon and start the knife again from scratch. This one worked out far better, so I gotta show a hamon glamour shot!
Thanks for looking!
This one will be shipped off to Labor in the next few days.
