    220mm Nitro-V + Ironwood Gyuto RAFFLE! (Ticket)

    $10.00

    RAFFLE! 

    Up for grabs is this 220mm Nitro-V gyuto featuring stone tuned workhorse geometry and a desert ironwood and stabilized bog oak handle.

    “Stone tuned” geometry means that after finish grinding on a belt grinder the blade geometry was further refined on bench stones to eliminate any inconsistencies from the machine and to dial in the edge geometry. As a result this 220mm Nitro-V blade has an edge that is both thinner and more even than can be achieved with machine grinding alone and when the time does eventually come for thinning there won’t be any low spots that need to be worked out-that’s already been taken care of. Knived finished this way have a smoother and more refined feel while cutting and significantly reduced maintenance time down the road when thinning is needed.

     

    Blade Details

     

    Blade: 220mm Nitro-V, 51mm tall ( hardness 62-63hrc) stone tuned geometry + 600 grit hand finish

    Handle: desert ironwood + stabilized bog oak, buffed and waxed

    POB: 35mm from the handle

    Spine: 4.62mm at the handle, 3.16mm at halfway, .66mm 1cm from the tip

    Grind: full convex 50/50 bias, near zero ground

    Weight: 224g

    Relieved + mirror polished choil and spine

    Edge: .14mm@1mm, .3mm@2mm from the edge, measured at the midpoint

     

    The terms for the raffle are as follows:

    -$10 CAD (About $7.30 USD) per ticket

    -multiple entries permitted

    -90 tickets available

    -if you win and I can’t get a hold of you within 48 hours I’ll re-draw for another name

    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.

    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

    240mm ProCut San-Mai Gyuto

    $50.00

    This 240mm ProCut blade will be my second 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 240mm 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. This finish highlights the core steel while creating a smokey haze where some minor carbon migration has occurred and leaves subtle intimations of the endogenous banding within the cladding steel. Interestingly enough it even highlighted a couple of inclusions within the cladding steel.

    MSC X Rockchop 215mm Mizu Honyaki Gyuto

    $50.00

    This 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.

    A 240mm A2 Gyuto Chef Knife

    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. It’s also a bit heavier than is typical for me owing to a bit less distal taper than I usually grind. Nail flexing, full convex and hand finished in (seemingly) everyone’s favourite semi stainless. This knife should be a delight.

    225mm Stainless Damascus Gyuto

    $1,010.00

    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.
