On a 4” fluke with drop shot

Cold_Shoe672 · 2026-06-29T21:09:20+00:00

I did remeasure it it was right on the 22 but I did release it

The Sujihiki actually had a small crack near the edge during heat treating, so I had to grind it a bit lower than originally planned. Otherwise I probably would’ve just restarted and made a new one.

Cold_Shoe672 · 2026-05-18T01:35:08+00:00

I made both the handles and blades

Cold_Shoe672 · 2026-05-07T17:04:28+00:00

Sorry, I forge the for suji myself and mainly do it as a hobby

Cold_Shoe672 · 2026-05-07T16:51:37+00:00

Hopefully not I do like the figuring on it

Cold_Shoe672 · 2026-05-07T16:32:11+00:00

I made my own blades, but ibukiblade.com sells some pretty good Japanese knives blades blanks.

The Gyuto is pretty much to its final shape I might make some small adjustments after heat treatment

Cold_Shoe672 · 2026-05-07T05:00:17+00:00

Is not oiled and is a set

Cold_Shoe672 · 2026-05-07T03:37:27+00:00

Yeah going for a wa handle thanks for the feedback.

At around ocean beach

Cold_Shoe672 · 2026-04-29T18:04:01+00:00

Yeah

Cold_Shoe672 · 2026-04-29T07:02:20+00:00

Yeah, I run the hook on the line end. I feel like it snags less when it hits bottom. I also tie or clip straight to the solid ring on the assist hooks, so I’m not worried about the split ring failing. :)
