ironwood

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.
