Dieses 240 mm lange Gyuto-Messer ist aus deutschem 1.3505 Werkzeugstahl geschmiedet, einem Material, das für seine außergewöhnliche Haltbarkeit und Schnitthaltigkeit bekannt ist. Es ist eine Kreation des renommierten deutschen Schmieds Oliver Märtens, dessen Werkstatt in Kassel für innovative Handwerkskunst und modernstes Design steht. Die Klinge spiegelt Olivers unverwechselbares Designethos wider, das stark von der Bauhaus-Bewegung inspiriert ist, die Einfachheit, Funktionalität und die nahtlose Verbindung von Form und Nutzen in den Vordergrund stellt. Diese Designphilosophie spiegelt sich in den klaren Linien und der zielgerichteten Ästhetik des Messers wider und macht es zu einem hochentwickelten Werkzeug für höchste Leistung.

Das Messer verfügt über ein markantes Gyuto-Profil mit breiten konvexen Fasen, die eine effiziente Schneidleistung und minimalen Widerstand gewährleisten. Der sich verjüngende Rücken trägt zu seinem agilen, ausgewogenen Gefühl bei und bietet hervorragende Kontrolle und Präzision bei jedem Schnitt. Der ergonomische Griff erhöht den Komfort bei längerem Gebrauch und zeugt von einem akribischen Fokus auf das Benutzererlebnis. Bemerkenswert ist, dass dieses Messer Olivers innovatives zerlegbares Griffdesign aufweist, mit dem das Messer mühelos auseinander- und wieder zusammengebaut werden kann, was eine unkomplizierte Reinigung, Wartung und sogar individuelle Anpassung gewährleistet. Eine detaillierte Erklärung der zerlegbaren Griffe finden Sie in diesem Video . Der Griff besteht aus eloxiertem Aluminium, gepaart mit speziellen petrolfarbenen Endkappen vorne und hinten und wird mit einer Feststellschraube aus Titan befestigt, was Haltbarkeit mit einem eleganten, modernen Aussehen verbindet.

Die Messer von Oliver Märtens werden für ihr erstklassiges Design gefeiert. Sie bieten außergewöhnliche Schneidleistung, unvergleichliche Ergonomie und eine markante und zugleich funktionale Ästhetik. Jedes Detail dieses Gyuto spiegelt Olivers Expertise wider, leistungsstarke Technik mit optisch ansprechenden Elementen zu verbinden, die den Nutzen in den Vordergrund stellen. Seine Designs heben sich in der Welt der Besteckprodukte ab und betonen nicht nur handwerkliches Können, sondern auch durchdachte Innovationen, die den Bedürfnissen von Profi- und Hobbyköchen gleichermaßen gerecht werden. Dieses Gyuto ist ein Paradebeispiel dafür, wie zielgerichtetes Design ein Küchenwerkzeug auf ein neues Niveau an Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Eleganz heben kann.

Blade type

Gyuto

牛刀

The Japanese take on the Western chef's knife, and the most versatile blade in a modern kitchen. A gyuto carries a long, gently curved edge — most often 210 to 270 mm — that allows both push cuts and a rocking motion, with a pointed tip for fine work and enough height at the heel to keep knuckles clear of the board. It handles proteins, vegetables, and herbs without complaint, which is why most cooks reach for it first.

Compared with a European chef's knife, the gyuto is usually thinner, harder, and lighter, ground to a finer edge that rewards good board technique and regular honing. That same thinness is the trade-off: the edge is less forgiving of bone, frozen food, and twisting cuts, and it asks for a little more care in maintenance in exchange for its keenness.

Cutting edge steel

1.3505

Low-alloy chromium bearing/tool steel

Typical HRC
61–65
Corrosion class
Carbon
Production
Conventional
Origin
Germany (DIN); identical to AISI 52100 and EN 100Cr6

1.3505, 52100, and 100Cr6 are the same alloy under three regional designations. See 52100 for the full editorial profile; this entry exists only to make the cross-reference unambiguous, since a European maker is more likely to label stock 1.3505 while an American one will say 52100 and a French or general-EN one will say 100Cr6.

Also known as:52100, 100Cr6

Blade construction

Mono Steel

A knife forged from a single piece of steel — no laminations, no clad layers. The simplest and most direct construction. The entire blade is the cutting steel, with no softer outer jacket to protect or contrast it. Most contemporary Western kitchen knives in carbon and stainless steel are mono-steel constructions, as are honyaki and most European bladesmith work.

The trade-off is straightforward: mono-steel knives are easier to forge, sharpen, and reason about, but the entire blade carries the cutting steel's properties — including its reactivity if it's a clean carbon. There is no soft jacket to protect a more brittle core from impact, so the heat treatment and geometry have to do all the work.

Grind

Convex

A grind whose bevel bulges outward in a gentle curve from spine to edge, rather than running flat. That extra steel directly behind the edge makes a convex grind notably strong and resistant to chipping, while the curved geometry helps food release and lets the blade glide through dense ingredients with less wedging than a flat grind.

The strength comes at the cost of ultimate thinness and ease of maintenance. A convex edge has more metal behind it, so it is not quite as effortlessly keen as a thinly flat-ground edge, and it is harder to sharpen freehand — holding the curve takes a stropping technique or a deliberate hand rather than a single fixed angle. The reward is an exceptionally tough, smooth-cutting edge.

Handle construction

Takedown

A takedown is a hidden-tang construction built to come apart. The tang passes through the handle and is drawn up by a threaded fitting — a nut at the butt, or a pommel that screws down — so the handle can be dismantled and re-fitted rather than being permanently bonded in place. Everything else follows the hidden-tang pattern: a concealed tang inside a one-piece handle, with no steel showing along the grip.

The point of the design is serviceability. Because the handle is mechanical rather than glued, it can be taken off for thorough cleaning and drying, swapped for a different material or profile, or replaced entirely if it is ever damaged — all without destroying the original fittings. It is the construction to choose for a knife meant to be maintained and kept for the long term, and for owners who like the option of changing a handle later.

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 premium reactive German and Swedish steels are susceptible to rust if not properly cared for. Keep the knife dry between uses and when storing for longer periods, wiping the blade with Tsubaki oil or another food-safe oil is a wise choice. A patina can be a beautiful personal feature on your knife and helps to stop rust forming.

Handle Care: For non-stabilised wooden handles, apply Tsubaki oil or another food-safe oil from time to time. Food-safe wax can be applied to both stabilised and non-stabilised wooden handles. Never apply hot wax or oil as you risk warping or damaging the handle.
