    225mm ProCut +Wrought Iron San-Mai Gyuto

     $50.00

    This 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.

    A 225mm CPM-D2 Gyuto Chef Knife

    D2 is a steel that requires very little introduction in the knife world, and none at all to those versed in pocket knives. I’ve been hearing about D2 tool steel for a long time, it was probably the first higher performance steel I’d ever heard of. It has a well established reputation, as it is one of the first high performance steels used by knifemakers. D2 is renowned for having good edge retention and the ease with which it forms a very sharp edge.

    Conventional D2 tool steel has very large carbides that make it somewhat ill suited to very acute edges such as those found on kitchen knives, and so its formed a reputation as a somewhat brittle steel, but this is the CPM version, which is a very different animal in that respect. CPM-D2 has much finer and more evenly distributed carbides and is in the order of 2x (or a little better) tougher than conventionally produced D2 at the same hardness. For the above reasons this steel in particular has been on my mind a while, and I’m really happy I tried it! I really like this stuff. At this hardness it has edge retention somewhere in the lower range for MagnaCut, and Z-Wear, but is more easily serviced on conventional aluminum oxide stones than those steels, (as the primary carbide forming element in D2 is chrome). Regarding corrosion resistance, D2 is often referred to as a semi stainless, it’s alloyed with 12% chrome. It will rust if left wet for too long, but it is less corrosion prone than conventional carbon steels and doesn’t require quite the same degree of care. If you love PM steels but are looking for something easier to sharpen tan MagnaCut or M4 you’ll probably love this 225mm CPM-D2 Gyuto!
