Mit einer Kombination aus gefrästen, handgeschmiedeten und handgeschliffenen Texturen und Geometrien überschreitet Luke Scheepers weiterhin die kreativen Grenzen dessen, was als Handarbeit gilt. Bei diesem Klingendesign, bei dem die Leistung an erster Stelle steht, sind handgeschliffene konvexe Fasen vorhanden, die auf die gefräste S-förmige Hohlkehle treffen. Die konvexen Fasen sind relativ hoch, 15 mm, und unglaublich dünn und erreichen direkt vor der S-förmigen Hohlkehle eine Dicke von maximal 1,8 mm. Das Ergebnis ist ein S-Schliff mit unglaublicher Schneidleistung, aber auch Langlebigkeit. Zu oft schleifen Hersteller die ersten Fasen ihrer S-Schliffe etwas dicker, um die anschließende Umsetzung der S-förmigen Hohlkehle zu erleichtern, was möglicherweise zu einer insgesamt verringerten Schneidleistung führt. Dies ist hier sicherlich nicht der Fall und Luke hat ein unglaublich gut durchdachtes Beispiel für den S-Schliff abgeliefert. Das unglaubliche Schneidpotenzial dieses Schliffs wird maximiert, während gleichzeitig die Wartungsfreundlichkeit des Messers berücksichtigt wird.

Auch die Waffelstruktur um den Rücken ist nicht nur ein stilistisches Detail. Sie sieht fantastisch aus, ist aber auch durchdacht um den Druckpunkt der Klinge platziert und fühlt sich unglaublich gut an. Luxuriös und selbstbewusst zugleich – das ist die Art von durchdachtem Design, die man nur bei den Besten der Besten findet. Eine stilistische Entscheidung, die die Leistung und Ergonomie des Messers steigert, ohne sie zu beeinträchtigen, wird immer wieder beeindrucken.

Jedes Element dieser Klinge wurde geschmackvoll und liebevoll durchdacht. Natürliches Leinenmicarta ist robust, langlebig und ästhetisch ansprechend. Die genähte Eichen-Saya mit dem eingefrästen Scheepers-Built-Logo verleiht dem Messer einen originellen und ikonischen Touch. Die subtile Kombination aus natürlichen Materialien, modernem und geschmackvollem Design und der mit Suminagashi verkleideten Klinge ergibt einen zeitlosen und edlen Look. Wir sind stolz darauf, mit kreativen und talentierten Handwerkern wie den Scheepers zusammenarbeiten zu dürfen und freuen uns, sie auf ihrem weiteren kreativen Weg zu begleiten.

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

V-Toku2

Low-alloy high-carbon tungsten-chromium tool steel

Typical HRC
63–66
Corrosion class
Carbon
Production
Conventional
Origin
Japan (Takefu Special Steel)

Editorial note: V-Toku2 is sometimes described in online write-ups as "semi-stainless." The steel's chromium content (around 0.25 percent) is too low to support that claim — V-Toku2 is unambiguously a clean, reactive carbon steel. It will patina and rust if neglected, and should be cared for accordingly.

The composition is approximately 1.05 percent carbon, 0.25 percent chromium, 1.25 percent tungsten, and a small vanadium addition. Conceptually it is Takefu's answer to Aogami #2: similar W-Cr-C balance, similar feel at the stone, similar performance at the apex. In a finished knife it runs at 62–65 HRC, sharpens cleanly, and produces a refined edge with good wear resistance from the tungsten carbides.

V-Toku2 is increasingly seen in mid-tier Japanese clad knives where the maker wants an Aogami-feel carbon without committing to Hitachi stock. Among the makers Modern Cooking carries, Adonis Forged Arts and Oatley Knives work in V-Toku2. It is a quietly capable steel and a good answer for a cook who wants the "blue paper" experience from a non-Hitachi maker.

Blade construction

Laminated Steel

A category covering knives built from multiple layers of different steels forge-welded together. The hard cutting steel is sandwiched between softer outer layers (cladding) that protect the core, add toughness, and often contribute visual contrast.

The most common laminated constructions in the Modern Cooking catalogue are:

SanMai (三枚) — three layers: hard cutting steel in the centre, softer cladding on both sides. The traditional and most common form.

GoMai (五枚) — five layers: a hard core, two intermediate layers, and two outer layers. Adds visual depth and structural complexity.

KuMai (九枚) — nine layers: similar logic, with more cladding layers for additional pattern and structural variation.

GoMai and KuMai are often chosen not only for the additional layers and visual depth, but also because the intermediate layers can act as a nickel diffusion barrier — limiting carbon migration out of the core into the cladding during forge welding, and protecting the core's intended carbon content through the heat of the forging process.

In all cases the cutting performance is determined by the core steel; the outer layers are cosmetic and structural. The lamination contributes corrosion protection (when a stainless jacket clads a carbon core), reduced reactivity, and the visible boundary between core and cladding that gives the knife its character.

Grind

Compound Grind

A category covering blades ground with more than one geometry stacked into a single cross-section — typically a convex (or flat) primary bevel at the very edge, with one or more hollows ground higher up the blade face to relieve material behind it. The aim is food release and reduced wedging: the hollow opens an air gap so dense produce breaks away from the blade instead of clinging to it, while the convex steel at the edge keeps the apex strong and the knife driving through the cut.

The named variations in the Modern Cooking catalogue differ in where the hollows sit, how many there are, and whether the two faces are ground alike:

S-Grind — a convex primary bevel at the edge with a hollow ground into both faces just above it. The symmetrical "S"-shaped cross-section is the classic food-release grind: relief above the edge, strength at the edge.

C-Grind — an asymmetric S-grind. Both faces keep the convex primary bevel, but only one face carries the hollow above it. The single-sided relief biases food release to one side, and is simpler to grind and to maintain than a full S.

B-Grind — a stacked twin-hollow grind: a tight, narrow hollow immediately above the edge, with a second, broader and wider hollow above that. The staged relief gives especially strong food release across the height of the blade.

S-Hook Grind — also called a hook, harpoon, or J grind. An S-grind taken to an extreme, with the hollow placed very close to the cutting edge. The aggressive near-edge relief gives outstanding food release, at the price of being the most maintenance-sensitive of the family.

Asymmetrical-B Grind — a B-grind in which the twin-hollow structure is carried on one face while the other is ground differently (or left without the upper hollow), off-setting the edge. It combines the staged food release of a B-grind with the handed, steering character of an asymmetric grind.

In every case the gain is food release and reduced drag, and the shared cost is sharpening: as the edge is thinned over the knife's life, maintenance eventually reaches the hollowed steel, which cannot be flattened on a stone the way a convex or flat bevel can. How soon that happens depends on how deeply the hollows are cut and how close to the edge they sit — exactly what separates a gentle S-grind from an aggressive S-hook. These are high-craft geometries, prized by makers and experienced users for their cutting feel, and best appreciated by a cook who maintains their own edges.

Handle construction

Hidden Tang

A construction in which the tang runs into the handle but stays concealed inside it, rather than showing between two scales. A narrower tang — a full-length stick or a shorter projection — is set into a drilled or burned channel in a one-piece handle and secured with adhesive, a friction fit, or a threaded fitting drawn up against the blade. This is the traditional construction of Japanese wa-handles and many European hidden-tang knives.

The design puts the handle material in charge of the look and feel: a single piece of wood, horn, or composite — often with a ferrule or spacers at the front — is shaped into any cross-section the maker wants, from the classic octagonal and D-shaped wa profiles to fully rounded Western forms. With no steel showing along the grip, the handle can be slim and light, and is frequently made to be removed and replaced, with the balance sitting toward the blade.

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.
