Description: David Tuthill has been a blacksmith for many years, creating elegant ornamental ironwork. Over the last few years, his attention to detail and skills in the forge have quickly brought him to create truly world class chef's knives.
Longer and slimmer than the santoku, the gyuto is an exceptional general purpose chef's knife. It is perfect for slicing meats and proteins as well as chopping and dicing. Whether slicing onions, chopping vegetables, mincing herbs, or portioning meats, this will be your go-to knife.
The blade is forged from David's own Tidal Pattern damascus, combining 1080 and 15n20 carbon steels to ensure excellent edge holding and chip resistance. The high contrast pattern is extremely engaging. The spine and choil are rounded for additional comfort. David's touchmark is on the right side of the blade. Because the knife is forged from carbon steels, we recommend using camellia oil to protect the blade and natural wood handle.
The ambidextrous Japanese-inspired half octagonal handle is faceted at the top and rounded at the base. This shape is among the most comfortable of traditional Japanese handle styles. The handle combines oak salvaged from a several-hundred-year-old ship wreck with a black buffalo horn ferrule. This is a knife you won't want to put down! Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher. Excellent work throughout!
