240mm A2 Gyuto Chef Knife (SKD12)

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.
