Ganymede Wide K-Tip Gyuto with a special Carbon Fiber handle A flat, wide gyuto with a thin overall grind. This blade is meant for someone who really prefers push/pull cuts. The handle shape is one I've been working on for a long time, refining the lines and facets more with [...]

EVA The biggest and baddest. My most insane work.⁠ Almost two years in the works, on and off. This was a collaboration piece between @halcyonforge and I - we talked about doing a big slicer and Joe forged out this one. It's three layers of Cru Forge V forge welded [...]
