Gyuto 230mm 600 Nut Damascus GoMai 1.2419

€1.250,00

This 230mm gyuto is a one-of-a-kind creation by Austrian blacksmith Martin Huber, showcasing his mastery in knife-making. At the heart of the blade lies a core of 1.2419 German tungsten alloyed tool steel, a material renowned for its extreme hardness, edge retention, and cutting performance. The blade is clad in a remarkable canister Damascus made from over 600 stainless steel nuts, resulting in a stunningly intricate and unique pattern that sets this knife apart as a functional work of art. The blade's k-tip profile and gentle edge radius are thoughtfully designed, offering a precise and effortless cutting experience, whether for delicate slicing or robust chopping.

The knife’s handle is equally exceptional, featuring a tapered rokakku hanmaru, or hex round, design that provides a comfortable, ergonomic grip. Crafted from stabilized bog oak, the handle boasts a deep, rich texture and durability, lending the knife a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic. The addition of a hand-milled stainless steel front bolster not only enhances the balance and sturdiness of the knife but also creates a striking visual contrast with the dark wood of the handle. The result is a handle that is both visually and functionally flawless, ensuring that this knife performs beautifully in both professional and home kitchens.

Martin Huber has also captured the magic of this knife’s creation in a detailed video for his YouTube channel, offering a glimpse into the artistry and precision involved in its forging. With its innovative materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and refined design, this 230mm gyuto is more than just a tool—it’s a statement piece for chefs and collectors alike, embodying both form and function in perfect harmony.

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.
