A 250mm 14c28n Gyuto
Recently a customer challenged me to make a more workhorse type knife out of thinner stock and as that went fairly well, I decided to replicate that grind in a larger blade and thus this 250mm 14c28n gyuto was created. This is on a short list of knives I’ve made that weigh in at over 200g and have had the final grinding work completed on a stone. The last 10mm or so above the edge were leveled and taken down to a zero ground edge that I essentially just sharpened by deburring on my Belgian Blue (after hand finishing to 600 grit that is). I have done some test cutting and I have to say I quite like the extra weight in tandem with the more obtuse geometry. It doesn’t feel like my other lasers, but I can’t honestly say that it’s comparatively deficient either. It glides through produce elegantly but authoritatively.
