Knife Name: Homonoia
Type: k-tip Gyuto
Edge: 230mm
Weight: 178 gr/443gr with saya
Hardness (HRC): 60 (liquid nitrogen treated)
Handle: Unique & rare stabilized burl, brass, G10, carbon fiber and gold leaf
The blade is made from mirror finished, high carbide, powder metallurgy stainless steel and features permanent black coating. The grind on this one (and most of my knives) is a result of free grind and is a combination of two shallow s-grinds on the heel area and transforms to convex to the tip. As always thin and tapered with perfect 50/50 balance. The Saya and handle is made from a single piece of natural burl wood and all this red hue is naturally produced by the wood, so it’s rare! Handle features all my signature wa handle lines and has brass, g10 and carbon fiber with gold leaf. The knife fits to the saya perfectly without the need of a pin and it is inlayed with protective material inside in order not to scratch the blade. There is no really need to have that protection though as the black coating is around 300X harder than the wood!!!Transportation sheath and papers included.
