    Stats


    Model - Gyuto

    Blade Length - 180mm

    Steel - CPM-154 (powdered stainless steel)

    Hardness - Rc 61-62 (with cryo)

    Height (at heel) - 50mm

    Handle Style - Wa Octagonal

    Handle Materials - Maple burl with streaked blond buffalo horn ferrule



    This knife is 180mm in length, a size that I've never done before. I wanted to make something for the cook who works in tight quarters or for that person who prefers a small(er) length blade. I did a lot of thinking to get this correct.

    The handle is made from a highly figured dark brown block of maple burl paired with a nice example of streaked blond buffalo horn. It's tapered, sized full figure in both width and height, to fit most hands.

    The heel height of the blade is right at 50mm for proper knuckle clearance.

    Ground thin at the edge and made from powdered stainless - this ain't your Momma's wa bocho. [​IMG]

    I would not be a bit surprised to hear back from the purchaser that this knife had (quickly) become a favorite. I'm loving it myself actually.



    Price - $649 (shipping included to USA / International will pay all costs over $25)



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

    Thanks for looking!

    Dave
