Aaaaand the matching nakiri. 63hrc super gold 2 stainless damascus. Gabon Ebony saya.

I had to hand over custody of this 250mm gyuto in mirror polished super gold 2 damascus (63hrc) this morning. Bittersweet as the new owner is an enthusiast home cook and will get great use out of this and the matching Nakiri, but I miss the blue already.
This colour in the wood is the most vibrant I've used to date. .
I'll be uploading plenty of pics with the saya as well. .

Sometimes the class of a build is in its simplicity.
Sg2 damascus Nakiri, 180mm x 70mm. Right hand D shape handle with 416 bolster.

Bit of a detail shot of the bolster and tip of the saya. Also highlights the plunge line that changes direction with the front the bolster. It is a minor detail but it is important to me. .
This knife also has rounded and mirror polished choils and spine, and no harsh corners or jutting areas.
Knife making is so epic.

278mm K-tip Sujihiki with dyed and stabilised burl handle and saya, both of which are bookmatched.

Two different suji's going to two different homes. Super gold 2 blades, 63hrc, full tang goodness.

Making knives themed to a kitchen is always a fun task. This one had to match the customers industrial-esk style kitchen.
As a result we have a Gabon Ebony ferrule and saya, concrete corian spacer with stainless shims and a Californian buckeye burl handle. .
The blade is mirror polished super gold 2.

I do a lot of test cutting and it takes a lot for me to get to the point of being so impressed i start laughing about the way a knife cuts. This knife makes me laugh.
Man knives are fun.

I can happily say I am finished hand sanding those two bloody "licence plates" A.K.A. nakiris and two gyutos. Now to make four handles, four sayas and I van send these and one other knife out.

200 x 70mm Nakiri in Super Gold 2 damascus. Must say for a first attempt this is looking pretty dope. .
Now to start polishing the other side. See you guys next week 😆🤣

I imagine if you pulled this out at work people would know you ain't messing around.
Still have to add my logo inlay and make a retention pin to keep that black and red theme going on the saya.
275mm super gold 2 damascus suji.

Test cutting with two separate custom knives. A 250mm sg2 damascus gyuto and 210mm sg2 san mai.
Tiny bit of refining from here and its time to polish.

Getting that frosty liquid nitrogen treatment on some knife blades.
