The Gyuto is a Japanese style chef's knife with a curve towards the tip of the blade that smoothly rocks back and forth and has an extended tip for quick chopping . "Gyuto” literally means “beef sword” but the versatility of the design allows it to be used to cut meat, fish, and vegetables with excellent adaptability to any cutting task in the kitchen.

The wrought iron of the cladding is from an old cart wheel. I cut, prepped and forge welded the billet that made this knife. The wrought iron has been plated with copper while the knife was in the etchant, the finish is very durable and it will withstand normal use but it will ware off if the knife gets a lot of abuse.

A little bit about the all new Apex Ultra Steel, it’s a high carbon, tungsten and vanadium steel. heat treated at 67HRC which very high hardness. The addition of vanadium increases the wear resistance of the cutting edge by quite a bit in comparison with the super blue Japanese steel. It delivers one of the best edge retentions in the market of steels.

• Blade, Wrought Iron cladding with Apex ultra  for the core at 67HRC.

• Handle: Copper bolster and Spalted Platanus
