[RRLOVER]

Here's a few pics of the 150mm petty pre/post etching.I would have took a spine shot but i don't think it would show up on camera.Hopefully I will have the 240mm gyutos done this weekend.

Nicely done!! What is the steel composition?

 

[RRLOVER]

The steel comp is 01/L6.I love 01 so I am sure I will love it,but as you know it's all about HT so after it hits the stones I can say if i love it or not.

 

[RRLOVER]

Now a just have to take her to the stones and see how she cuts.

 

[so_sleepy]

Very nice

 

[tgraypots]

sweeeeeeeeeet

 

[WildBoar]

Holy cow, that is one freakin' sweet looking knife! Great job!

 

[Dave Martell]

Yes that is pretty sweet indeed.

 

[Pensacola Tiger]

Certainly one to be justly proud of, Mario.

 

[SpikeC]

Very nice! Is that his "random" pattern?

 

[Michael Rader]

Very nice. I like your work. I know that I'm going to have to start making some knives in a more traditional Japanese style, and yours are definitely inspiration to that end.

Thanx All.......I truly enjoy this hobby.Del will have to chime in on the pattern,it was a small piece that i had to welded a tang on.

 

[Delbert Ealy]

Very nice! Is that his "random" pattern?

Not random, at least not like my "regular" random, it was a mosaic of other patterns I have done.
Well done Mario!

 

[Eamon Burke]

wow!:thumbsup:

Here's one of the 240mm gyutos .This one was ground from 3/32 stock,so it's very thin.

 

[Dave Martell]

Mario, is that also from Del's crazy quilt billet?

 

[Marko Tsourkan]

Hey man we started at the same time but you have beaten me over and over. :mad3:

 

[RRLOVER]

Mario, is that also from Del's crazy quilt billet?

I think so,the petty and this gyuto were 3/32 thick so I would assume they are.I am curious what the 1/8 thick gyuto will look like.

 

[mattrud]

How about a spine shot?

 

[El Pescador]

Time to change your avatar!

[RRLOVER]

Here's the finished product,240mm dammy gyuto in 01 &L6.The handle is box elder burl and buffalo horn.

 

[mattrud]

Very nice! That is a big bevel you put on there as well. love that box elder

 

[Pensacola Tiger]

Very, very nice work.

 

[SpikeC]

Very yummy!

 

[Eamon Burke]

That is indeed a honker of a bevel. Great design!

 

[RRLOVER]

This is the 1/8" stock I got from Del.
The edge is 9 3/4"
The height is 2"
The weight without handle is 166 grams
The spine is 0.104 over the heel.
The tip is 0.033
She's not a laser but I feel she will cut pretty good.

 

[Salty dog]

love the shape.
