This is a hitachi blue 2 Damascus San mai billet that @knivesandstones is going to carry soon . It was quite hard to find them at these width and thickness before , these are right size for kitchen knives. I just forged a 240mm gyuto out of it . Then after 10 mins of this picture I have done my back trying to twist Damascus . I felt my back tightening and it means I will be in bed for a day or two . I hope to work on it soon

I have asked in my stories if you liked the forged finish over clean finish with no hammer marks.
The result of my question came in much to my surprise with over 80 percent preferring the forged finish . I wasn’t expecting the results to be this lopsided to be honest . I guess I will be offering more of them if you like them

Matching ironwood saya for the Kuro uchi gyuto in

Matching ironwood saya for the Kuro uchi gyuto in stainless clad 52100 . I am glad the saya matched the flow of the figure of the handle perfectly. On its way to its new owner . With all the post offices and the couriers working like crazy this holiday season I am going to cut off the shipping on 20th of December. That means around New Years delivery for international shipments and maybe Christmas or just after for shipments within Australia .
