How to make a $1,100 chef’s knife

W2 Fat Gyuto WIP

Quick Notes

Not only does Don create a beautiful full flat-convex grind, but he also tapers the whole knife, making it thinner at the tip than nearest the handle. Bevel-ception?
Amazing tips and guides within. He goes over theory and process much better than I ever could.
Great technique for fixing blade warping after tempering.
This knife slices melons ALL DAY.
