This is a 170x44 pattern welded gyuto, the steels used are CruforgeV/15n20. The pattern for this knife is an intricate feather pattern that is quite bold. This knife has a full convex done on a rotary platen. The grind on this knife would be my typical midweight grind suitable for general kitchen tasks. The handle of this knife is composed of fossil walrus ivory that exhibits dark greens spots, browns, tans, and cream streaking. The fossil walrus ivory is a few thousand years old and sourced by the Inuits in Alaska from the permafrost. The coloring of the ivory is due to the minerals leaching into the ivory while in the ground, this one is mostly cream colored with sparse black splotche. The handle has been polished to a high sheen and heirloom fit to the blade.

Note: Certain States and countries have regulations around the sales of pre-ban fossil ivory, please check your state/countries laws before purchasing. If you have questions, feel free to email me and we can work it out together. If you live outside of United States, please contact me to discuss possible shipping options due to each countries unique import regulations.
