Santoku, 168mm, 52100 carbon steel. Cherry

£250.00

Hand forged santoku chef knife, forged from carbon mono steel.

A nicely balance santoku, with a clean taper and good heel strength for going through thicker veg. Robust wooden handle allows for a variety of grip styles. The blade balance sits on the heel, and the length is quite manageable meaning its easy to use and very versatile.

Best suited for veg & boneless proteins. Not suitable for deboning due to its hardness at 62hrc.

Natural wood, wa style handle of Cherry, with a contrasting blackwood collar and octagonal shape providing a comfortable but secure grip. Blade is set with a soft glue that can be removed with heat for handle changing but still remains incredibly strong and durable.

It is a carbon steel blade, so over time will develop its own unique patina and colouring, this is normal, and reflects your cooking habits. It will require some basic care. It is a unique handmade item, and has signs of this, please make sure you examine the photos closely.

By purchasing this knife you are confirming you are over 18 years old and I accept no responsibility for anyone imitating or purchasing a blade for anyone under the age of 18.

Gyuto, heavy. 175mm, 52100 carbon steel. Holly.

£250.00

Handforged gyuto chef knife. Made from carbon mono steel.

A heavy weight gyuto, with a slightly shorter blade and a bit more belly than standard. Designed as a bit more of a workhorse like the santoku, but with a slightly more delicate tip. This knife has a robust handle and good knuckle clearance.

The slightly larger handle on this knife means it sits in the hand really well, allowing for a variety of grips. With its weight the heel is really effective at going through tougher veg. Best suited for veg & boneless proteins. Not suitable for deboning due to its hardness at 62hrc.

Natural wood, wa style handle of local Holly wood, identified by its ivory like appearance. With a contrasting blackwood collar and octagonal shape providing a comfortable but secure grip. Blade is set with a soft glue that can be removed with heat for handle changing but still remains incredibly strong and durable.

It is a carbon steel blade, so over time will develop its own unique patina and colouring, this is normal, and reflects your cooking habits. It will require some basic care. It is a unique handmade item, and has signs of this, please make sure you examine the photos closely.
