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.

Gorgeous sturdy little petty paring in my Ku Damascus magic.
This is forged geometry, surface carefully prepared for clay, then just the right conditions in my kiln to form hard black iron oxide on the iron, leaving the nickel shiny. Very challenging and end result is very practical.

This is a second from a custom order, I had difficulty getting the shiny finish and clay to stick, so it had a couple of repeat heat treatments and has a more mat finish to the ku and nickel. The tang is a little narrow, but it came together really well in the end, so grab a half price bargain.
This is a mid thickness Gyuto, in my KU Damascus, nickle and iron. These are incredibly challenging and technical, to get hard black iron oxide to form on just the iron in the pattern, the nickle stays bright, and will not form visible oxide. It is a very practical finish.
This is a nice tall Gyuto, not too heavy , but balanced a little weight forward, it has a fully convex lower, to a nice thin edge and cuts great with a nice balance of ease and food release.
Core steel is my old stock c105, very hard, but very gorgeous on the stones.
Bevel is finished to a nice jns 6000 finish off the stone, and shows up the hazy nickel nicely.
Edge will be tickled with a jnat before shipping.
The Handle is a nice simple Wa in some of the most dense Rosewood from Bolivia.
