Handmade 8.5" hybrid gyuto based on the same profile that won the Garden & Gun award in 2015. This interpretation is far from traditional with a thick spine, full tang 52100 High Carbon, and plenty of heavy steel to back up the edge. This piece was hand peened to keep the forged texturing along the spine. The handle is a western style of figured Walnut sourced from Zack's farm in Charlottesville, VA featuring bolsters and pins of nickel silver and a spacer of micarta. If you like a heavy blade to drive the work, this one is for you. The overall length is 13.5". HRC 60. 10.8 oz
