213mm Wander Gyuto

This gyuto was forged from 52100 High Carbon Steel. The wander handle is my interpretation of a classic wa handle with a palm swell. This is a robust knife with a slightly forward balance.  The blade features forged texture with a satin belt finish. This blade is high carbon steel and will patina over time. The handle is stabilized walnut and sycamore (lacewood).  The handle and blade were hand-rubbed with a mixture of purified mineral oil and beeswax. Every step of this process was completed in my workshop creating a one of a kind, hand-forged knife.
