A 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
• Handle: Bolivian Rosewood mono, oil finished and waxed
• POB: 62mm from the handle
• Spine: 2.94mm at the handle, 2.21mm at halfway, 1.32mm 1cm from the tip
• Grind: full convex low bevel 50/50
• Weight: 225g
• Relieved choil and spine
• Edge: .10mm@1mm, .23mm @2mm, 1.65mm at the shinogi measured at the midpoint,

Any US Tariffs will be covered by myself in full.
