My Knives - #04 Gyuto 01

This is my latest beauty from the last batch. She's leaving for a new home tomorrow, but this time I had the time to do a proper photo session.

This one is really special for me for two reasons:

1. All the materials in the handle were gifts from people dear to me.
2. The abanos, or bog oak, is pretty unique: it was a gift from my college professor, and since he's into dendroarchaeology all the pieces in the gif bag were carbon dated :)

I won't bother you with text just the basic stats and the pics.

I would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section.

Thank you for your support, and see you soon.
