Chef’s knife 225×60 mm high carbon steel

Description

A truly fine chef’s knife in the Japanese gyuto style. The blade is hand-forged from high carbon steel (80CrV2), and the handle is made from stabilized curly birch with an elforyn bolster. The bevel features a slightly convex grind.

Since the knife is made of high carbon steel, there is a risk of surface rust forming if the blade isn’t kept dry. This can easily be avoided by simply wiping the blade after use. Carbon steel is a living material, so it’s very likely that a light patina will develop on the blade, especially when cutting vegetables with high acidity. In the eyes of many, the patina is very beautiful and adds value to the knife.
