Seven years ago i started forging these deep texture versions of my forged geometry knives. This version in iron clad c105 is my favourite I have forged yet, I made some new short aggressive dies, and with great control I set the geometry out hot for maximum squish, I have left long ridges between the deep texture which you can feel adds to the stiffness for weight of the knife. The knife is especially tall, which is fun, like a tipped Nakiri, but bear this in mind with your work height set up.
The finish is natural black iron oxide formed in the kiln with the correct conditions. It has been allowed to form and harden slightly , before perfect temp is reached for water quench. This took a little practice I assure you. It allows the KU to take more of a polish.
I have given the bevel a nice jnat finish and a rub with a mid grit finger stone for beautiful contrast, and matched it to a nice high grade cocobola handle with incredible colour and grain.
The geometry is all in the low very convex bevel, with noting above to hider progress through food. Food release is as close to perfect as you can get, and the bevel is tuned to harder food as well, the tip gets very thin for easy onion dicey work. Performance all round is great😀
