235x52 Dammy S-Grind
This is a 235mm pattern welded gyuto, the steels used are 1095/15n20. The pattern used for this knife is an experimental random pattern that I have been working on. This knife has a compound S-grind, which is a hollow along the middle of the blade which aids with food release. Previously, I used a platen that replicated the angle of a 48” wheel for this. As of lately, I have started using a platen that replicates a 36” wheel, I find the slightly deeper hollow creates a more acute apex. The grind on this knife would be my typical of my normal lighter midweight grind.
The ferrule of this knife is made from African Blackwood. The main block of wood being dyed purple/blue maple burl. The wood is very dark and a bit chaotic to match the bold and striking pattern of the blade.
