This is a 252mm integral feather gyuto, forged from 1084 and 15n20. This knife was hardened to an average of HRC 63. The base pattern used for this was a bold Ws that was ripped with a wedge while hot then forge welded back together to create this unique pattern. This knife has beautiful flow throughout the bolster. The handle is ancient bog oak with a bronze and black g10 spacer. This knife has a S grind which helps with food release and to lighten the blade. I would consider this work horse grind suitable for general kitchen tasks.
