Design Series - Gen2 Gyuto
Years of R&D and soul searching, this is Generation 2 of the Design Series. The goal is to make small batches of knives that cut and feel just as good as any of our customs at a more accessible price point, without any compromises in fit, finish, and geometry.
These have gone through countless iterations now, going from cut all by hand on a tiny bandsaw, hidden tangs, carbon steel, now to a stainless full-tang design with a scotchbrite belt finish and removable handles. I have always been searching for a design that was elegant in its form, but also elegant in their process. I wanted something that has the same geometry as my Signature work, with a gentle, clean convex grind coming down to a zero-thickness edge. It must have a zero-thickness edge, and it has to have a clean bevel that smoothly transitions to the rest of the grind - to do this efficiently, consistently, and sustainably was seemingly impossible until recently. I finally found a way to hit all my requirements.
The final result is a knife that cuts beautifully with little drag because of the thin convex grind, feels substantial yet balances and rotates quickly from the distal taper, and maintains and repairs more effectively than any of my other knives due to removable handles and scotchbrite belt finish.
Specifications:
14C28N steel (stainless)
62 Rockwell C Hardness
210mm (8.25”) Edge Length
55mm Heel Height
Satin Scotchbrite Finish
Convex Geometry with Zero Edges and Subtle Distal Taper
G10 Fiberglass Handles with Stainless Hardware, TPU printed gaskets
These knives will be made-to-order. Please allow me 4-6 weeks to complete the knives, I will follow up with an email update when they are nearing completion.
For international orders, I will follow up through email with a separate shipping quote (depending on your location it can be anywhere from $80-$150, including insurance). If you are ordering from outside of the US and have questions, please inquire through email before placing the order.
