Gyuto 240mm S Grind 410 Stainless Clad 1.2519 SanMai
Antoine Kniamen of Adonis Forged Arts continues to develop into a world class bladesmith with this incredibly fine piece of work. An S geometry gives this tapered blade best in class food release and reduced cutting friction. Cutting performance is going to be undeniably impressive. With 1.2519 German tungsten alloyed steel at the core you’re also going have extraordinary edge retention and sharpness in this cutting edge.
The blade is forged from a house laminated 410 stainless clad billet. It give the knife an incredible aesthetic reminiscent of dark grey clouds on a stormy day. The blade has been fitted with imitation ivory Elforyn handle, with a spacer of Lapis Lazuli Stone, Gold Flakes, and clear G10. A hand shaped “Art Deco” bolster in brass completes the handle in true style.
As Antoine continues to develop and change the styling of his knives one thing has remained true of all his work, perfect fit, and finish. Simply put Antoine holds himself to the highest standards and his craftsmanship is exceptional.

Product Care:
Cleaning: Clean by hand with warm water. Avoid wetting the handle when possible.
Sharpening: We advise using whetstones to sharpen your knives and a honing rod or steel to maintain the burr between sharpening sessions.
Reactive Steels: Reactive steels like Aogami Super, Apex Ultra or one of the many premium reactive German and Swedish steels are susceptible to rust if not properly cared for. In this case we advise that you keep the knife dry between uses and when storing the knife for longer periods wiping the knife blade with Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil is a wise choice. This will not stop a patina forming on the blade, but it will stop rust. A patina can be a beautiful personal feature on your knife and helps to stop rust forming. So, dry your knife regularly between uses, store in a dry place and apply some Tsubaki oil from time to time when storing for long periods.

Handle Care: If you have a knife with a non-stabilised wooden handle, you can apply Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil to your handle from time to time. Food safe wax can be applied to both stabilised and no-stabilised wooden handles. Never apply hot wax or oil as you risk warping or damaging the handle.
