This 250 mm Gyuto combines an elegant, slender profile with refined cutting geometry, offering excellent precision, balance, and versatility in the kitchen.
The blade is forged from in-house made Damascus, combining layers of 15N20 and 1084 carbon steel, hardened to approximately 63 HRC. The flowing Damascus pattern highlights the layered construction, giving the blade a distinctive character.
A convex grind provides smooth, efficient cutting performance, while the generous 55 mm heel height offers excellent knuckle clearance. The pronounced distal taper, from 2.7 mm at the heel to just 0.8 mm near the tip, creates a fine, precise tip. Weighing only 183 grams, the knife offers a remarkably lightweight and agile feel for its 250 mm blade length.
The handle combines richly figured desert ironwood with African Blackwood. The warm tones and natural grain of the ironwood contrast beautifully with the deep black timber, creating an elegant, understated finish that complements the Damascus blade.

Carbon steel rewards a little attention: wash by hand, dry straight away and never use the dishwasher. A light patina will develop with use.
