    210mm 26c3 San-Mai (Left Hand Bias) Gyuto

     $50.00

     

     

    A 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.

    Type XVII Longsword

     $1,155.00

    This Oakeshott Type XVII is my very first European style sword, hopefully the first of many. This sword took some real time and effort to make as every component was fit and finished by hand. This blade probably has in excess of 35 hours of labour into it, much of that spent on guard and pommel fitment.

    The Type XVII was a historically prominent but lesser replicated sword with widely varying weights and dimensions. While generally conceived of as a thrust centric blade its profile lends itself well to powerful cutting and the geometry makes it somewhat more damage resistant than flattened diamond cross section blades.

    Type XVII Features

    Blade: 35-5/8″ (90cm) x 1.5″ (38mm)

    Taper: 5.9mm at the base, 4.76mm at halfway, and 3.2mm 1″ before the tip

    Steel: 5160 spring steel (50-52hrc)

    Finish: 320 hand finish for the blade, blackened hot oil finish for the fittings

    Weight: ~3.5lbs (1590g)

    POB: 4″ (100mm)

    COP: 23″ (58.5cm)

    Grip: 8.25″ (210mm)- cowhide wrapped

    Guard: Type1 7-3/4″ (19.8cm)

    Pommel: Scent stopper, 2-5/8″ (67mm) x 1.25″ (32mm)

    Unsharpened-can be sharpened upon request depending on destination country (check your local laws before ordering)

    Flattened hexagonal cross section

    Threaded pommel nut allows for complete disassembly
