Welcome to my knife shop😀 You will find new items here for sale most every week. I have found I am more productive and push myself further producing work to sell here on my website. Therefore I no longer take any kind of custom order or reserve items for people. I find it better to concentrate on making the very best quality work and be able to offer more items for sale. These days I use Instagram to show my working process, and I also use Instagram to give notifications of new stock, and to Auction one off items. I intend to add a fresh Mailing list for a simple notification of when new knives come in stock for those who do not use Instagram, which I will add here shortly.
225mm KU, western, convex forged Gyuto.
£754.00
Sold out
The second Knife with convex forging and the slender Western handle. Again simple materials with an extremely high focus on details and techniques.
I followed the same theme of forging as the first, with a wider very convex bevel, a soft hollow above the bevel with the spine thinned giving a second apex for release on larger vegetables. The bevel has been diligently tuned until I got the same lovely sensation of food parting as the first I forged. There is just a hint of sound feedback in the core of carrots, like a slowed down peeling sound rather than a crack. This knife is all about buttery control of cut. The feel of the blade is that of a totally solid workhorse but with more mid thickness lower geometry.
This one I have given a really nice finger stone finish on the bevel.
This one has a slender western in palm and copper. The copper bolster is now punched and forged to shape before finishing with the handle. This allows virtually no waste of copper, as well as a super tight fit up to the knife. And a matching peened copper rivet , left slightly domed as forged.
The whole package is so nice in hand and to cut with. With a very elegant silhouette to admire.😊
