    A 240mm A2 Gyuto Chef Knife

    This 240mm A2 Gyuto Chef Knife utilizes a profile which is a variation on my Sabatier styled pattern with a a slightly lower tip, and a slightly longer flat. It’s also a bit heavier than is typical for me owing to a bit less distal taper than I usually grind. Nail flexing, full convex and hand finished in (seemingly) everyone’s favourite semi stainless. This knife should be a delight.

    A 240mm Forged Banding A2 Gyuto

    This 240mm Forged Banding A2 Gyuto was forged down from thick stock very carefully to manipulate the microstructure of the steel such that it displays an active and attractive pattern reminiscent of watering wootz or raindrop damascus. The handle is made from in-house stabilized maple burl that was carefully selected among many other blocks specifically for this project.
