This is a pattern welded gyuto, the steels used are 1095/15n20. The pattern used for this knife is a forged bold ladder pattern. The end result is an organic and beautiful pattern with bold layers. This knife has a convex S-grind. The grind on this knife would be my typical of my mid weight  grind.

The main piece of the handle is highly figured maple. This curly maple was harvested and processed by me from my property. The ferrule on this knife is African Blackwood. This is a nice handle combination, the creamy maple contrasting the African Blackwood.
