This is by far the largest knife I have made, and I have to say I am quite pleased with how it turned out. With a full-length hamon clearly visible on the left side of the blade—and peeking through toward the tip on the right—this piece can be displayed in either orientation and is sure to stand out in any collection.
This knife’s mono-steel blade is made from 26C3 carbon steel. Similar in composition to the Hitachi White line of steels, it contains high levels of carbon and very few impurities, with a small addition of chromium that increases edge retention. 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 fine burrs.
With a lightly convex asymmetrical grind, this knife is designed for a right-handed user. As a result of this grind, the knife performs unlike any knife I have used previously—it goes exactly where you tell it to, making it a pleasure to cut with. The left side of the blade is smooth with a hamon running the full length, while the right side retains heavy forge texture.
The takedown handle is made from wood reclaimed from a pallet that came from overseas. The wood is extremely dense with a deep mahogany colour. 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.
As a small bonus, this knife will also come with several additional handle options that can be swapped to achieve different aesthetics. I have included some brutalist-inspired burnt wood handles shaped with rasps that I think are particularly neat. As this is the last knife I made with this tang design, three additional handles will be provided.
