GyutoWestern style double bevel chef knife.
My Gyuto have extreme geometry, relatively thick on the spine allowing convex geometry with extreme thinness at the edge, allows for most efficient cutting. I am flexible to making relatively flat profiles, or with a bit more belly towards the tip. Common lengths are 210mm, 220mm, 240mm, 270mm. Height can vary between 48mm and 55mm. |
CleaverI make Cleaver up to 80mm in height, thin geometry for vegetables and general cutting or thick cleaver if required for bone and butchery.
I offer vegetable cleaver with special hollow geometry on the faces, with flat double bevels. This geometry takes longer and therefore costs a bit more over convex geometry. Price on application and depending on the height of knife etc. |
Other Profiles for 2014 Honesuki and larger Garsuki - Typically thicker geometry ,these are for boning chicken Mine are double bevel. Popular lengths 120-220mm
Hankotsu - Japanesse Boning knife, slender, blade with a fine tip, 140mm length. This is not a thin flexible knife, About 3mm thick, robust, yet slender for getting around the joints of meat. Wa handle Steak Knife- British Style 220mm butchers steak knife profile , Similar but smaller than the American style bull nose, but with a Wa handle. In this case tang would extend right though the handle. For Multiple Butchery tasks. |
Composite damascus.I am offering some limited sets in a unique composite of damascus for 2014.
These are combinations of bars of damascus both twisted pieces and mosaic. This idea is an evolution of the 9 bar turkish twist special hollow cleaver I made in 2013. The twists and basket weave sections are in a high contrast damascus with pure nickel. The edge material is a fine blend of choice carbon steel damascus to have optimum hardness/toughness. |
Mosaic Damascus - 3 Patterns for 2014My mosaic damascus has also evolved into a combination of damascus materials for high contrast and different edge damascus.
For 2014 I will be offering my latest form of the feather pattern, with high contrast damascus with pure nickel on the spine half, and my special combination of carbon steels on the edge side of the blade. In this format of high contrast/optimum edge material I will also be offering. Basket weave. A radial w's pattern. You will have to bear with me as these latest versions of these patterns evolve. Do please visit my gallery for past creations. IMPORTANT: Current examples of all these patterns will be made in the new year so you can make your choice upon seeing the options. So unless you are sure you want Feather damascus just tick Mosaic Damascus on the order form and you can decide later. |
End caps and spacersI have a variety of different materials available in metal/colours. I will select something to go with your design with some choices at the time of making.
A few ideas below... Copper/brass and nickel silver in various widths, Mammoth tooth Many pieces of burl or wood, Bone, and faux bone, Jadeite, Carbon and stainless damascus. Many colours, Precious metals are possible, do please enquire with you specific wishes. |
Damascus ferrule and end cap.With carbon damascus knives, ferrule and end cap are made in a visually complimentary damascus to the blade material.
In Stainless damascus san mai knives the material is a more traditional straight laminate in 304/430 stainless, which has a subtle beauty. A new feature I am offering with customs this year is a fullered/grooved spacer in Nickel silver or precious metals if you choose. This between a split ferrule. See the image showing this feature in the gallery. |
When you have submitted your order, I will reply to confirm within a few days.
For an initial Price I need to know about the damascus parts. Blade material and length and if your order will include damascus ferrule/endcap. If you have an idea of wood choice and spacers do include it, but these can be chosen and added to the total at the time of making. Please note my 2014 list is now full. |
*The price guide is in Pounds Sterling per cm of cutting edge. I measure my blades in a straight line from heel to tip.
For tall Nakiri/cleaver profiles with my hollow face flat bevel geometry add 1/3rd to total price. |
