Just a gorgeous Petty profile, and a good height that it can be used as small Gyuto chef knife. The hamon came out perfect, perfect clouds and activity going down the centre of the blade, playing off the spine in places. I thought I would throw one of these in with a simple handle to make one a little more affordable besides which the wenge is gorgeous practical and hard wearing.
Geometry is forged and the grind follows the forging, so thicker on the spine, thin into the middle of the knife, with the geometry breaking into the convex lower bevel, Perfect balance of weight, low friction cut and release. Steel is hard and the edge is thin, this has my heat treatment of SC125 for best hardness and edge retention, while the edge can flex and is tough it will chip rather than distort when pushed to destruction, so take care around bones, anything hard.
Finish is a super practical true 400 grit finish polished out with Wa powder, making it so easy to maintain with wa powder on a tissue to remove patina and bring back the shine.....and the best contrast I think to make the hamon pop.
I can provide some Wa powder to go with the knife.
