480 layer Sujihiki

This slightly heavier take on your standard sujihiki was produced from offcuts retained from previous knife builds in an attempt to reduce the amount of waste the workshop produces.
As such, the pattern is completely random, on top of being a very high layer count, which gives the blade plenty of character. 
Made from EN42J snd 15N20, this sujihiki has an edge length of 235mm with a total blade length of 245mm. It's 45mm deep at the heel and maintains a distal taper through the spine from 4.5mm to 0.5mm at the tip.
The knife incorporates a 150x20x25mm  handle made from locally sourced walnut that gently tapers in towards the front of the blade.
Total weight comes in at 195 grams.
