8.5” Gyuto
The wrought iron used here is from an old wagon tire. A little bit dirty but with lots of character!
The geometry leans more workhorse and feel sturdy and smooth. Bevels are flattened on abrasives and stones, polished on Mikawa and Oouchi natural stones and then finished with finger stones.
The handle is made of Ziricote, Ivory Micarta, and Lemonwood, that unintentionally feel very fall-like and of the season.
On the butt of the handle, there’s a stamp of a frog on a lily-pad; a frog for my mom and a lily-pad which represents peace through adversity.
Specs:
Blade Length: 8.5”
Blade Height: 2”
Total Length: 13.75”
Spinal Taper: 4.2-1.2mm
Weight: 177g
Steel Composition: Wrought Iron Cladded - 52100
Handle: Octagonal Wa/Ziricote & an Ivory Micarta/Lemonwood Stripe
