Description: "The knife presents in a beautiful Ash cluster burl handle and saya. Drawing back the saya reveals a classic Oatley Gyuto with a Vtoku 2 core clad in stainless steel. It’s a Go Mai construction, with a nickel diffusion layer separating the HRC 63 Vtoku core from the outer stainless jacket.James has forged it thin, it’s probable the thinnest Go Mai we have come across, what’s incredible is that it also features an S grind geometry. The sheer skill required to grind this kind of geometry on such a thin, multilayer, piece of steel boggles the mind. James does it completely free hand too.The profile is a classic Oatley design, it features and very low radius edge. It’s perfect for push cuts and moves through material effortlessly. Every angle feels considered and thoughtfully implemented to make the knife comfortable to hold and operate.The Ash cluster burl handle is removable for maintenance and cleaning. A simple friction fit brass pin holds the handle in place. It’s a salute to the Japanese sword making traditions that James is inspired by and a design feature that anyone experienced in whetstone sharpening will appreciate.An incredible piece of craftsmanship with a beautifully thin and sharp edge."
