Heavy workhorse forging with a super fine wide bevel and thin tip. This is all about the weight and the cutting experience , with the bevel going super thin perfectly and gradually convexed into a beefy geometry.
This beautiful K tip is forged in some lovely wrought from a Devon mill, white 1 at the core water quenched, absolutely gorgeous hard core steel. This has my full hard ku treatment, which has been semi buffed out, giving a nice graphite sheen to the highlights. Shiny Ku on the choil on this one too, and the choil shoulders , the bluing shows just on the spine and logo, for a more subtle dark look.
This has a full polish with natural stones, showing the beautiful lines contrast and imperfections in the wrought.
I have adorned this one with my best figured cocobola, hand finished wa.

I love making heavy knives perform, and wider bevel makes the most of the Beautiful material in polishing.

This one turned out most splendidly in my new ku Damascus material, a low layer bold twist in pure nickel and iron.
The piece was hammer fluted by eye, giving two distinct flutes and lots of texture. The piece was planished , polished etched and then treated to my full magnetite water quench ku with effects the iron parts levering the nickel shiny.
It is a no tarnish finish, very practical, hard ku and shiny pure nickel, to be maintained as a ku knife, dried after use, mineral oil before putting it away.
The core on this one is White 1, with a lovely hazy kasumi, you can see subtle hazy nickel in the bevel.
This is thin forged for one of these, and will fly though food with its thinner geometry and fine lower bevel. The fluting allows greater stiffness in a thinner geometry, Truly functional art.
