Gyuto 245mm Honyaki C105-W1 Integral

One of the most beautiful pieces of work to pass through our doors this year. A gorgeous mirror polished Honyaki Gyuto 245mm with forged integral bolster. Jonas finished this one off with an incredible dyed and stabilised redwood burl handle with black truestone inlays.

The blade is forged from W1 steel, a fairly rare steel. Water quenched with a beautiful Hamon. The profile is classic Gyuto with a subtle curve and santoku tip, approximately 53mm tall and 245mm long the blade balances nicely just forward of the integral bolster. The geometry is pretty laser with a fairly aggressive distal taper and super classy Walkschliff grind. Incredibly thin behind the edge.

The handle features Jonas's tapered Rokkaku Hanmaru style handle, but boy is it stunning with the dark green hues and black and gold truestone. The combination is just beautiful!
