Sold - Custom Gyuto 205mm (8.1") - Wrought Iron and Ebony

The Wrought Iron used for the cladding on this blade, was sourced from a 100+ year old Wagon Wheel that had been sitting in my Mother's Garden for a few decades. A generous donation was made and I've had the privilege to incorporate this piece of history onto my knives. A 16 layered Damscus Core, offers a beautiful cutting edge that compliments the unique grain texture provided by the wrought iron. A pure Nickle shim was used between the cladding and core to prevent carbon migration.

This blade has a forged distal taper and the forged texture has been left along its spine. Thinned to be an absolute laser in the kitchen, this knife will offer a cutting experience I'd describe as effortless. It is suggested you keep this in consideration while using this knife, as reckless chopping may damage the cutting edge. This is the style of knife I grew to love during my time working as a cook in fine-dining kitchens.

The Handle is of Gabon Ebony, a truly exceptional black wood, and Holly that has been stabilized. A play on a black and white handle idea I've been thinking of, the Holly provides almost Ivory tones contrasting with the black of the ebony. There is a slight taper from the end to the ferrule that provides a secure hold when the hand gets wet or oily. This along with Scalloping of the handle end is only offered on my premium knives for an exceptional experience.
