My Knives - #10 Gyuto With Saya

in #food6 years ago (edited)

Hello dear Stemians,

It's been a while since I've posted one of my knives, and I've just finished on of the nastiest bi*%$#s so why not make it a post.

This little cunt started off as a regular build, soon become a full custom, and one of the biggest pains in the as so far.

Everything that could have gone wrong did! Nevertheless, I am a stubborn bastard so dealing with problematic ladies is something I do well.

Anywho, I won't bother you with details - I will explain in the comments if anyone is interested.

Stats (in non-retarded units):
Steel - 1095 with differential heat-treatment
Handle from the blade - Golden Phoebe, brass, walnut
Saya - Secupira

Length: blade - 245mm, AO - 375mm
Height: 58mm

Pics - first some from the build, then a nicer ones from the photo session.

This is where I realized I've screwed up the HT

choosing the wood for handle and saya

centering the handle before I start the final shaping

Un saluto, nicola

Grazie mille!
The wood did turn out better than expected ;)

The knife and your photography is stunning

Well, thank you very much! ;)

I realize you had a hard time with this knife, but it did turn out beautifully. Maybe you'll remember it more for all the difficulty it gave you (or what you created yourself)? You've got a talent for knives, and in spite of it all, you do enjoy it. Or else you enjoy being miserable. Take your pick. :)

Yep, it was a struggle. But to be honest, the ones that make me work hard are the ones I enjoy working on the most - they test my skill and make me a better knifesmith in the end.

There were a few times I almost went to Hulk smash mode with this one ;)

Awesome post dude! knive lives matter

It’s a very beautiful knife! Your skill and artistry shows well in the final product as well as in your photographs. Whoever ends up getting this beautiful creation is so lucky!

You have a minor typo in the following sentence:

It should be one of the instead of on of the.
