Flat profile from the heel with a slight curve toward the tip. The San-mai\u003c\/span\u003e is laminated by myself in house from a dead stock of soft iron (0.1% carbon \u0026amp; very clean) that I bought in Sheffield before I left. Forged to shape and to geometry (no grinding on the KU) the blade is ground on water cooled grinding wheel then finish by hand on a progression of synthetic and natural Japanese stones. With the \"oxidation proof\" of the Kurocuhi and the flat, stone ready bevel, the maintenance is very easy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Name : Gyuto \u003cbr\u003e- \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eYear : August 2026\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eConstruction : San-maï (3 layers)\u003cbr\u003e- Range : Soft iron Sheffield\u003cbr\u003e- Geometry : Thin\u003cbr\u003e- Blade length (heel to tip) : 245mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Blade height (at the heel): 61mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e- Hagane : 135Cr3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Jigane : Clean soft iron\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Handle : Wa (Octogonal) with Brown Oak\u003cbr\u003e- Balance point : Pinch grip\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Distal taper : 6.2 \/ 2.1 \/ 0.7 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Weight : 222.7 grams\u003cbr\u003e- Finish : Kurouchi with Kasumi polish\u003cbr\u003e- Special feature : Take down handle with brass pin and tool\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Observation : thinner knife than usual\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Hardness :\u003cspan\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e≥ 64HRC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAllow me a couple of days to sharpen and send the knife to you.

I prefer carbon steel for it ease to sharpen, the fine edge it takes and the beautiful patina that will develop. You do, however, need to give carbon steel knives just a little extra care to keep them in top shape. There are trade-offs in everything. Claddings stated as \"dirty wrought iron\" will be more reactive. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMy handles are made from local, untreated, un-stabilised wood.
