Knife n°3 is done, a Gyuto this time
I love building tools, using them, learning new skills.
So this time, after my first two knives, I aimed a bit higher.
I wanted a japanese inspired Gyuto type kitchen knife with a Wa handle and a convex grind.
This is the result.
Steel is 1.2419 / 105WCr2 hardened to 61 HRC.
Blade thickness at spine is 2,0mm, with a full taper
blade height 50mm
Overall length is 335mm, blade length 200mm. My oven length is only 300mm so I couldn't stretch any further.
The handle is my first Wa-type handle. I used the dowel method. It is made from black horn beam, copper an stabilized karelian birch.
I also did the logo etching with a self-built etcher, salt water and a die-cut template, thanks to my wife's die cut plotter.
The blade finish was completely done on the belt grinder, with Trizact A16 and the a green Scotchbrite belt.
