"Rúla Búla" 235/63 uillinneacha gyuto
The go-to AU mono, and the namesake for a new hammer pattern that I love the madness of.. the "Rúla Búla" pattern (roughly pronounced 'Roola Boola'). One of my favourite Irish words meaning general lively commotion, sing songs, wild atmosphere out and about, etc etc. With this pattern being something between forged geometric chaos and evil confetti, this one had to get a loud handle to bring maximum vibe. The blue colour in this double CA glue sealed/buffed hempwood is beyond striking in person, and certainly up to the task of catching eyes. Forged wicked thin, ground thinner with a fine convex edge and slightly walkschliffed tip. Ready to cause party chaos, share a tear over an onion you sliced invisbly thin, and/or walk the runway for Mugatu.

(disclaimer: this description might be a touch on the actual crazy side mostly on purpose - I'm doing just dandy fine, really. But thanks for noticing.)
