8” Funayuki Gyuto
The cladding here is mild steel layered with 15n20. It didn’t polish on stones/with finger stones as dark as I thought it might so I satin-finished the bevels and created haze with some very thick natural stone mud.
The faces were forged fairly thin, with a gentle hollow that’s most pronounced at the heel. I’d classify the cutting feel into workhorse territory, while still being smooth and comfortable.
Specs:
Blade Length: 8”
Blade Height: 2.25”
Total Length: 13.75”
Spinal Taper: 4.6-.9mm
Weight: 185g
Steel Composition: Layered Mild Cladded - 52100
Handle: Octagonal Wa/Lemon Wood
