225mm CPM-3V Gyuto Kitchen Knife – Heavy Taper & Micarta Handle

A bullnosed 225mm CPM-3V gyuto kitchen knife with a heavy taper and a two tone micarta handle.

CPM-3V is among the toughest production steels available today and very rarely seen in kitchen cutlery. Steel itself is semi stainless like the much adored A2 tool steel (SKD12) and has edge retention far exceeding that of basic carbon or stainless steels without being difficult to sharpen. This bullnosed profile is loosely based on the Konosuke FM gyuto but with a flatter edge more parallel to the handle.
