I am aiming to make a full set of knives from 01-08, this is a prototype for my 02 line of knives and is one of two I made. I am aiming to make a brutalist inspired small vegetable cleaver ideal for preparing herbs or small vege.
This knife’s mono-steel blade is made from 1095 carbon steel. It is similar in composition to the Hitachi White line of steels, with high levels of carbon and very few impurities. This steel performs at a high level while offering greater toughness and edge retention than its Japanese counterparts. It takes extremely fine edges and is easy to sharpen while producing very fine burrs.
With an asymmetrical grind, this knife is designed for a right-handed user. The left side of the blade is smooth, allowing the full-length hamon to be visible, while the right side is heavily forged.
The takedown handle is made from quilted ambrosia maple. The handle is sealed with multiple layers of natural tung oil.
Each knife comes securely stored in its own wooden sheath and wrapped in a furoshiki.
