Wanchana Knife makes only Custom one of a kind handmade knives. He makes very unique and interesting designs that are different with every knife. When buying a Wanchana Knife it is very likely there will never be one similar to it.
This knife is a Gyuto blade shape made from a single piece of 52100 carbon steel which very hard and takes a great edge. It is a carbon steel so must be maintained properly. The blade is very thin and Laser like at only 1.8mm. This would be a great knife for fine work like slicing herbs and brunoise shallots. The thin blade will not make this a good knife for heavy duty tasks. The handle is custom made from dyed Maple wood with carbon fiber inlays and copper ends. The saya appears to be Rosewood with copper pins and has a saya pin matching the handle. This is a very unique and beautiful knife at a great price.
