Twelve inch San-Mai Gyuto

[Chris Railey]

Twelve inch Gyuto in 1084 and mild steel San-Mai. Satin Clear KG Gun Kote finish. Stabilized Maple Burl handle from Gene Kimmi. The recipient does not mind forge marks so I left him one near the spine for good measure.

That looks really good! I love the waviness that shows. Did you do anything special to achieve that?

Very nice!

I think that is caused by the drawing dies on my press. That is my best guess.

Thanks John. I am starting to like working in San-Mai, Damascus and cannister more than mono steel even though its more work. I enjoy the forge welding part. I think next I may try a Go-Mai blade with 1084 outside, 15N20 in the middle and 1084 on the inside. That should etch dark except for the 15N20 line. May be a cool look.

I think that will look really cool, especially if the line comes out wavy like this one.
