Knife n°3 is done, a Gyuto this time

I love building tools, using them, learning new skills.

So this time, after my first two knives, I aimed a bit higher.

I wanted a japanese inspired Gyuto type kitchen knife with a Wa handle and a convex grind.

This is the result.

Steel is 1.2419 / 105WCr2 hardened to 61 HRC.

Blade thickness at spine is 2,0mm, with a full taper

blade height 50mm

Overall length is 335mm, blade length 200mm. My oven length is only 300mm so I couldn't stretch any further.

The handle is my first Wa-type handle. I used the dowel method. It is made from black horn beam, copper an stabilized karelian birch.

I also did the logo etching with a self-built etcher, salt water and a die-cut template, thanks to my wife's die cut plotter.

The blade finish was completely done on the belt grinder, with Trizact A16 and the a green Scotchbrite belt.

That is a beautiful kitchen knife. At 61RC it will hold a sharp cutting edge. Do not turn your back on it, or your wife will steal it for her kitchen chores.

Looks very nice. You can tell you put some effort into making it. I am not familiar with the steel you used, but Rc 61 is hard enough for any kitchen task.
