Gyuto 195mm Apex Ultra Mono G10 & German Ash
A compact and versatile 195mm Gyuto from Germany based Derrick Wulf. This beautiful mono steel Gyuto features a low radius edge profile, a subtle taper and wide convex bevels. Forged in Apex Ultra, a steel specifically developed for culinary knives, this knife will take an exceptionally sharp edge and features very good edge retention. The knife is perfect as a utility knife for simple meal prep or as an elegant table knife, set alongside snacks and drinks when entertaining.
The mono steel blade features an elegant, yet simple satin finish and the carbon steel will develop a character of its own over time as the patina forms on the blade. A lovely heirloom piece to be passed on for generations. The knife is completed with a Derrick Wulf signature handle in stabilised and roasted German ash, a naturally tough and dense timber that features a beautiful figure.
Derrick is an exceptionally talented bladesmith with unique and iconic design style. His knives feature the highest standard of fit and finish and with proper care will serve you well for generations.

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.
