This is a pattern welded gyuto, the steels used are 1095/15n20. The pattern used for this knife is a twisted Ws pattern I call Twisted Static. This knife was forged to shape which helps the pattern flow better. The end result is a pattern that twists down the blade, you can follow the pattern over the spine and onto the other side of the knife. This knife has a compound S-grind which is my midweight grind.

The handle on this knife is curly Tasmanian Blackwood with a Missouri Whitetail antler ferrule. The antler was a shed found a couple years ago, it was fully dried then stabilized.
