Forged Banding 200mm D2 Gyuto
$900.00D2 Tool Steel Is Tariff Free And Falls under CUSMA.
A forged D2 gyuto with banding
This is a special knife utilizing materials I’ve never used previously. In the past I’ve made forged blades of differing varieties that have been etched and polished to reveal the alloy banding within the steel. This is one such blade but in a steel I had previously never worked with, ingot D2 tool steel. Surprisingly this D2 gyuto was less difficult to make than I had anticipated, though still much more difficult than any low alloy steel or A2.
The banding is phenomenally dense and photographing it was a nightmare as the pictures tended to look bland and grainy. There’s just too much detail for a nice macro shot. So while it looks a bit bland and 2D, every white line in actuality represents a bit of figuring that dances in the light as you look over the blade. Next time I forge a D2 gyuto I’ll try to make the activity a bit bolder but I didn’t want to push my luck with this stuff, never having forged it previously.
I also thought I’d try something new for the handle and used a piece of wenge end grain that has a lovely bit of character only occasionally seen on knife handles. It appears lighter than it actually is in the pictures. This D2 gyuto’s banding just refused to be photographed without otherwise excessive exposure.
- Blade: 203mmx57mm Forged D2-Tool Steel 800 grit diamond lapping film finish + etch and polishing cycles
- Neck: 18mmx18mm
- Handle: Wenge endgrain, oil finished and waxed
- POB: 30mm from the handle
- Spine: 2.7mm at the handle, 2.1mm at halfway, .59mm 1cm from the tip
- Grind: full convex
- Weight: 165g
- Relieved choil and spine
- Edge: .17mm@1mm, .32mm @2mm, measured at the midpoint,

250mm ProCut San-Mai Gyuto
$50.00A 250mm ProCut san mai gyuto
I’ve been sitting on this one for a while and finally have it done. This 250mm ProCut gyuto is similar to a shorter blade I put out in February of this year (posted HERE) and features the same kind of complex grind geometry and stonework.
- Blade: 250mmx57mm ProCut/mild san-mai (64/65hrc) -stone set bevels + 2500 grit hand finish + etch and polish
- Neck: 19mmx19mm
- Handle: Wenge mono, oil finished and waxed
- POB: 66mm from the handle
- Spine: 3.94mm at the handle, 3.25mm at halfway, .78mm 1cm from the tip
- Grind: full convex zero grind
- Weight: 252g
- Relieved choil and spine
- Edge: .10mm@1mm, .23mm @2mm, 1.65mm at the shinogi measured at the midpoint,
As you can see the banding isn’t quite as prominent in this blade despite using the ame cladding material. I suspect this is due to the higher austenitizing temperature I used for ProCut vs the SheffCut in the last one. Nonetheless it has a distinct pattern in the cladding that I only wish I could highlight more.
*The cladding does indeed get close to the edge but at no point touches it
Any US Tariffs will be prepaid by myself in full.

230mm Forged Low Bevel Gyuto (26c3)
$450.00A 230mm forged 26c3 san mai gyuto
My forging experiments continue and while I’m getting close to where I want to be, I’ve determined I need better dies to take me the rest of the way. This 230mm forged blade is like the previous ones, and once again I did no go to the extent of taking out all of the grinder marks as it was primarily built as a tool to learn on. The edge geometry is perhaps the thinnest I have ever made and the knife cuts beautifully.
- Blade: 232mmx60mm 26c3/mild san-mai (64/65hrc) -stone set bevels + 2500 grit hand finish + finger stone kasumi polish
- Neck: 18mmx19mm

- POB: 62mm from the handle
- Spine: 2.94mm at the handle, 2.21mm at halfway, 1.32mm 1cm from the tip

MSC X Rockchop 215mm Mizu Honyaki Gyuto
$50.00This is the second of my collaborations with Steve of Rockchop Knife Co.
Some of you may recall my previous mizu honyaki collaborations with Julien Labelle and these are in the same vein. Julien, much to my dismay elected to cease taking on honyaki polishing projects some time ago due to the time commitment and the associated stress, which is why there haven’t been any in some time. You can perhaps imagine my surprise and delight when I reached out to Steve to ask if he might be interested in doing similar collaborations, and he replied by saying that not only was he familiar with my collaborations with Julien, but that he and Julien were acquainted and he had received some tips an instruction from Julien on polishing honyaki!
If you haven’t heard of Rockchop, and aren’t familiar with Steve’ skills, you really ought to check his work out Here. He truly is among the best of the knife sharpeners and polishers active today, a true genius in the making.
This second knife is a gyuto, 217mm X 52mm X 2.6mm and 138g in weight (handle incl.). The handle is one of my Bolivian Rosewood and Peruvian walnut combo handles. The blade is a W2 tool steel mizu honyaki. It has a full convex grind, distal taper, and 14000 grit mirror finish etched and polished to reveal the hamon and the ashi.

210mm 26c3 San-Mai (Left Hand Bias) Gyuto
$700.00A 210mm 26c3 san mai gyuto
Here’s a potentially interesting blade. This 210mm 26c3 gyuto is my first full migaki polish on a san mai blade forged with my power hammer. I went with AEBL as the cladding hoping that it can serve as an adequately stainless substitute for the near impossible to attain 410 and 420 steels that are ideally used for SS clad carbon steel. It seems to do fairly well rust wise but is certainly less corrosion resistant than the 4xx series. I was also hoping for some interesting banding, but alas after about 12 hours of different polishes and etches I couldn’t come up with a satisfying result so I dropped down to a more functional 600 grit finish. The blade carries the first dedicated left hand biased grind that I’ve made in a while and it has excellent food release on that side.
- Blade: 211mmx56mm 26c3/AEBL san-mai (64/65hrc) 600 grit hand finish
- Neck: 20mmx18mm
- Handle: Cocobolo+walnut, oil finished and waxed
- POB: 30mm from the handle
- Spine: 3.16mm at the handle, 2.04mm at halfway, .51mm 1cm from the tip
- Grind: full convex left hand bias
- Weight: 160g

180m Low Bevel Bunka 26c3 San-Mai
$500.00A 180mm low bevel bunka in 26c3 san mai.
This 180mm low bevel bunka represents the first forging I performed with my new power hammer and my first shot at forged hollow bevels. Overall it came out well but I’m confident I can get things much thinner with a better set of dies. The blade has been tested and it’s as you would expect with these dimensions, it handles like a workhorse and has excellent food release with no stiction. It does require a little bit more force in denser produce but nothing that feels like work.
- Blade: 183mmx51mm 26c3/mild san-mai (64/65hrc) -stone set bevels + 2500 grit hand finish + finger stone kasumi polish
- Neck: 17mmx16mm

It’s been a while since I posted any new work, it’s been a crazy month and among other things I now have a power hammer in my shop that I’ve been learning how to use. This 160mm 26c3 san-mai santoku is the first of those forged blades to be made available and others will be posted in the coming days. The blade has stone set bevels with good convexity, and while I didn’t go nuts removing every single grinder scratch from the blade 98% of them are gone. Initially I tried a coticule kasumi on one side and got some scratching so I swapped to my uchigumori finger stones to a much better effect and that’s what I’ll stick with from here on out.
- Blade: 160mmx56mm 26c3/mild san-mai (64/65hrc) – stone set bevels + 2500 grit hand finish + finger stone kasumi polish
- Neck: 18mmx19mm

190mm ProCut San-Mai Gyuto With Banding
$50.00This 190mm ProCut San-Mai Gyuto represents a large step forward in my polishing abilities. In this blade the various hues of carbon diffusion are visible at the weld interface while the cladding itself carries a natural mural of alloy banding patterns that exist within the steel itself.

Blade Special Features
Fully convex ground blade, stainless clad with active banding.
ProCut is a brand new steel released by Pop’s Knife Supply and Larrin Thomas. You could think of ProCut as a steel with the toughness of 80CrV2, the nickel content of 15n20 and edge retention somewhere between 52100 and AEB-L.
This 190mm ProCut San-Mai Gyuto features a stone tuned geometry and a very fine 2500 grit finish that was polished with my own special mixture that results in a kasumi-like finish without the use of uchigumori. This finish highlights the core steel while creating a smokey haze where some minor carbon migration has occurred and reveals the endogenous banding within the cladding steel.

Interestingly enough it even highlighted a couple of inclusions within the cladding steel.

Gyuto (Chef's Knife)
225mm ProCut +Wrought Iron San-Mai Gyuto
$50.00This 225mm ProCut blade will be my first available in this new and innovative steel. I’ve elected to utilize san-mai construction for my ProCut blades owing to the costs associated with acquiring it. ProCut is a brand new steel released by Pop’s Knife Supply and Larrin Thomas. You could think of ProCut as a steel with the toughness of 80CrV2, the nickel content of 15n20 and edge retention somewhere between 52100 and AEB-L.
This 225mm ProCut blade features a stone tuned geometry and a very fine 2500 grit finish that was finished with my own special polishing mix that results in a kasumi-like finish without the use of uchigumori
Please note that there is a small blemish in the handle where a chip was repaired during construction.
Blade Details
Blade: 224mmx51mm ProCut+ Wrought Iron (~64/65 hrc) Stone tuned bevels + 2500 grit hand finish + pseudo uchigumori/kasumi polish.
Neck: 17mmx18mm
Handle: Stabilized amboyna burl, oil finished, buffed and waxed
POB: 42mm from the handle
Spine: 3.29mm at the handle, 2.70mm at halfway, .65mm 1cm from the tip
Grind: full convex RH bias
Weight: 183g
Relieved choil and spine
Edge: .17mm@1mm, .28mm@2mm from the edge, measured at the midpoint
Blade Special Features
Fully convex ground blade, wrought iron clad.

Introducing the “Basic Models Gyuto”
While I’ve always tried to ensure I’ve had a range of offering available from highly polished honyaki to the sort of utilitarian blades a line-cook might afford, I’ve often wondered how far I could take things in that direction. Many of you have heard the story of the sculptor who, when asked how he made such impressive work, replied that he didn’t “make” the sculptures, so much as he removed everything that wasn’t integral to them. So, in that vein I asked myself the following questions…
Can I produce a knife with the same functionality as a more expensive one without it being a complete eyesore?
How important is distal taper?
How thick can a convex low bevel be without wedging?
What would it mean to make a knife with only the most essential features?
These collectively represent my answer to those questions…
They are the most basic models of knives I can make. Intended for beginners and professionals on a tight budget alike, they feature:
-Burned oak handles from reclaimed wood
-Low, high bevels
-Convex zero grinds, hand sharpened
-Nail flexing edges
-As quenched finishes
-1.6mm blade stock
-Forward balance
-AEB-L or 52100 steel
-50 to 52mm tall
-Rounded spines and choils
-Weights in the typical range (~160g for a 240mm gyuto and ~140g for a 165m santoku)
-Excellent food release
-Cutting ability close to more extensively ground blades
I have tested all variations of these basic models and I have to say, part of me is a bit irritated at just how well they do considering how rough they are. They aren’t pretty, and they’re not intended to be, and tip cuts aren’t quite as smooth as they would be on blades with more taper, but these are undoubtedly performers.
*As a cost saving measure, no Maker’s Marks will be etched
**Blade pictured is 52100

Gyuto (Chef's Knife)
250mm 52100 Tsuchime Gyuto
$700.00A 250mm 52100 Tsuchime Gyuto
This blade is a bit of a departure from my typical “laser” style kitchen knives. This blade was forged with a heavy taper from neck to tip under special dies I made to create the embellished dimple pattern (tsuchime) on the surface. The grinding of blades like this is a bit difficult for me and it’s easy to slip and irreversibly mar the tsuchime pattern so it took very deliberate and slow progress to get it set as I wanted it. After that I leveled out the bevels using a 250 grit whetstone to even out the bevel surfaces and apply the ever essential convexity and further finished out the blade using 600 grit sandpaper. All of that extra work has resulted in this heavily tapered workhorse 250mm 52100 Tsuchime Gyuto that simply glides through produce.
Blade Details
Blade: 254mmx56mm 52100 (~65 hrc) stone flattened bevels + 600 grit hand finish
Neck: 19mmx18mm
Handle: Locally sourced sugar maple, oil finished and waxed
POB: 57mm from the handle
Spine: 6.55mm at the handle, 6.11mm above the heel, 2.66mm at halfway, .73mm 1cm from the tip
Grind: full convex RH bias
Weight: 254g
Relieved choil and spine

Gyuto (Chef's Knife)
Ultra Thin 250mm KS Pattern Gyuto-Matched Pair-52100/AEB-L
$912.00An Ultra Thin 250mm Gyuto-Matched Pair
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to own two otherwise identical knives made from different steels? Well here’s your chance!
This was a fun project, an ultra thin 250mm gyuto-matched pair in the ever popular KS style utilizing two of my favorite steels, AEB-L and 52100. Admittedly these knives came out a bit thinner than I intended, but that’s probably in keeping with their parent design. The weights, tapers and grinds are very nearly identical on these blades with similar degrees of convexity and nail flexing ease.
In all the pictures and measurements the AEB-L is getting first billing. Where values are identical only one will be given. You’ll also notice in the pictures that the colouration at the neck is bolder for the 52100, if you’re having trouble remembering which is which.
Blade Details
Blade: 253mmx52mm AEB-L(63hrc) 254mmx52mm+52100 (65hrc) fine belt finish

Gyuto (Chef's Knife)
225mm Stainless Damascus Gyuto
Original price was: $1,010.00.$800.00Current price is: $800.00.A 225mm (9 Inch) Stainless Damascus Gyuto Chef Knife
This blade represents a real milestone in my development and work. This is an inhouse made stainless damascus gyuto.
Stainless damascus is quite difficult to make compared to carbon steel damascus and I have spent MANY dollars and hours trying and sort of succeeding. This blade is the result of tuning the process to eliminate the ~50% failure/material loss I was experiencing previously.
It’s quite light, but not handle heavy—I chose that amber coloured cocobolo handle specifically for its light weight to maintain forward balance. I’ve also done test cuts and I have to say I’m impressed. Not only does the blade have less drag than an etched carbon steel damascus knife, but despite its thinness the food release is quite impressive. Full convex grinds are really hard to beat in that regard.
Ease of sharpening: it’s basically as easy to sharpen as AEB-L– which people love.
Blade Details
- Blade: 227mmx56mm High Contrast Stainless Damascus (AEB-L+304) (62-63 hrc) 600 grit hand finish + light etch
- Neck: 18mmx18mm
- Handle: Cocobolo and walnut, oil finished and waxed

Sujihiki (Slicer)
230mm Wrought Iron San-Mai Sujihiki
$648.00A 230mm Wrought Iron San-Mai Sujihiki
(Written June 2023) Here I have a first for me, a wrought iron san-mai sujihiki with a birdseye maple handle. I had originally set out to make a 270mm, but owing to a very thin core and .008″ of offset in my drawing dies I ended up with a 2mm wide place in the edge where the cladding crossed the core, so I had to shorten it. Nevertheless I would say my first foray into forging wrought iron san mai went well, and I look forward to using more of this material in the future. This wrought exhibits a lot of character, even a somewhat frosty look up close, and as I discovered during the etch, patinas with some variation in colour. I’ll be very interested to see how it looks after slicing up a hot roast or two.
Blade Details
- Blade: 234mmx40mm wrought clad 52100 san-mai (~64 hrc),1200 grit finish, etch and polish
- Neck: 17mmx18mm

Sujihiki (Slicer)
270mm Wootz Sujihiki
$50.00A 270mm Wootz Sujihiki
I recently developed the capacity to produce crucible steel (wootz) and so this one of the first of many yet to come. It’s a very labour intensive process but very satisfying. This blade has a calculated 1.90%-1.95% carbon which is on the higher end for crucible steel. The pattern is quite fine and exhibits a faint ladder pattern. I’ll attempt watered patterns on future blades. There’s really no describing the full extent of the detail in steel like this, it’s just packed. I look forward to experimenting with other patterns and compositions.
I’m short on maker’s mark stamps at the moment so I’ll be reserving the few I have left for completed customs and purchased blades. If this blade sells I’ll add it on prior to shipping.

Gyuto (Chef's Knife)
245mm Wootz Gyuto
$640.00A 245mm Wootz Gyuto
Here’s my most recent attempt at a wootz gyuto. It has a somewhat different composition than the ones I’ve previously made, and it could be thought of as a deeper hardening 26c3/spicy white. Unfortunately this composition did not give me a well broken down structure after forging, or very good contrast. I’ll most likely avoid this particular composition in the future. That said the blade does exhibit very interesting banding as well as a few ashi near the tip. Closeups of the pattern are attached.

As part of my pursuit of wootz steel I decided to do some experimenting with other alloys. This is one such. It’s based on 52100, but enhanced to provide greater edge retention. This steel displays a very interesting dendritic pattern as a result of its method of manufacture, it isn’t wootz, but follows a similar principle.

This 240mm A2 Gyuto Chef Knife utilizes a profile which is a variation on my Sabatier styled pattern with a a slightly lower tip, and a slightly longer flat.
