This is a different one for me, it's a big gyuto - a (full) 270mm that's 60mm tall at the heel profiled with some belly (think Watanabe gyuto belly - but not quite) that's been taken to a really high level of polish.

I call this type of polish "Japanese Mirror" because it's what the Japanese provide (along with an up-charge) on a mirror finished knife. However, it's not a true mirror as I would term mirror to be since it's not perfect, it still has some wispy lines present. The blade is very polished and shiny though and should please most people who like the bling factor...and being stainless it will look this way until you screw it up. LOL You can see some sky and tree reflections in the blade in a couple of the pictures to get an idea of what it looks like.

The handle is dyed box elder burl from my private stash! Yes I was holding onto this block for myself but since I'll never get one of my own knives I figured why not just use it and after offering this block to a customer recently I had it out and it said "270mm gyuto" to me so there you have it.


Price - $650 (shipping included to USA / International will pay all costs over $25)

If you're interested in purchasing this knife please contact via PM or email along with your Paypal email address (for the invoice). If international, please specify country.
