Patriot

This was a really fun build! A client reached out and wanted to buy a special gift for her husband. The theme was to be based simply on “America”. This was the result we came up with. The blade is a standard balanced gyuto in AEB-L steel. It was professionally hardened and cryo-treated by Paul Bos Heat Treating in Idaho (they do all of the heat treating for Buck Knives). The saya was fabricated with help from my friends at Repkord that allowed me access to their laser cutter. The saya pieces are cut from maple and dyed to match the hybrid maple/resin handle.
