Gyuto 230mm AEB-L Gidgee MCX Fredrik Spåre
Introducing the MCX Design Studio’s newest kitchen knife, crafted in collaboration with renowned Swedish blacksmith and Birch & Bevel alumnus, Fredrik Spåre. This extraordinary blade embodies the perfect blend of aesthetic elegance and cutting-edge performance. Forged entirely by Spåre himself, the knife boasts MCX’s signature pointed profile, which has been honed and refined through iterations of the MCX kitchen knife collection and the Birch & Bevel range. The result is a blade that features a forge-tapered convex geometry, ultra-thin convex bevels, and a razor-sharp edge. The edge profile includes a subtle radius that transitions smoothly from heel to tip, ensuring an exceptional cutting board experience. This design not only enhances precision and control but also reduces strain on the wrist, making it a joy to use for extended periods of culinary preparation.
At the heart of this masterpiece lies AEB-L stainless steel, a premium-grade material prized for its remarkable balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. AEB-L is often regarded as one of the finest steels for kitchen knives, thanks to its fine grain structure, which allows for a sharper, more refined edge. Unlike many other stainless steels, AEB-L offers high resistance to chipping, ensuring a durable, long-lasting cutting edge. The blade is hardened to 63HRC, a level that strikes the perfect harmony between hardness and flexibility. This high Rockwell rating gives the knife a sharp, enduring edge that maintains its precision cut after cut. The choice of AEB-L reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and performance, as it provides chefs and cooking enthusiasts with a tool that is both easy to maintain and impressively resilient.
No less attention is given to the handle, which reflects MCX's dedication to ergonomic design and luxurious materials. The handle features MCX’s classic tapered Rokkaku Hanmaru, also known as the "hex-round" shape, which provides a comfortable, secure grip for users of all skill levels. Crafted from stunning Australian ringed gidgee wood, a material celebrated for its deep, rich hues and natural hardness, the handle is as durable as it is beautiful. Accented with a brass bolster and a sleek black G10 spacer, this combination of materials creates a harmonious balance of texture, color, and functionality. The design is both timeless and contemporary, offering chefs a sense of pride and pleasure with every use. Ideal for professional kitchens and home cooking alike, this handmade knife is a testament to the artistry of Fredrik Spåre and the design excellence of MCX. Whether you’re preparing delicate garnishes or breaking down hearty ingredients, this knife ensures every task is performed with precision, style, and comfort.

Produktpflege:
Reinigung : Von Hand mit warmem Wasser reinigen. Vermeiden Sie nach Möglichkeit, den Griff zu benetzen.
Schärfen : Wir empfehlen die Verwendung von Wetzsteinen zum Schärfen Ihrer Messer und eines Honstabs oder -stahls, um den Grat zwischen den Schleifsitzungen zu erhalten.
Reaktive Stähle : Reaktive Stähle wie Aogami Super, Apex Ultra oder einer der vielen hochwertigen deutschen und schwedischen Reaktivstähle sind anfällig für Rost, wenn sie nicht richtig gepflegt werden. In diesem Fall empfehlen wir, das Messer zwischen den Einsätzen trocken zu halten und bei längerer Aufbewahrung des Messers die Messerklinge mit Tsubaki-Öl oder einem anderen lebensmittelechten Öl abzuwischen. Dies verhindert zwar nicht die Bildung von Patina auf der Klinge, aber es verhindert Rost. Eine Patina kann ein schönes persönliches Merkmal Ihres Messers sein und hilft, die Rostbildung zu stoppen. Trocknen Sie Ihr Messer also zwischen den Einsätzen regelmäßig ab, lagern Sie es trocken und tragen Sie bei längerer Lagerung von Zeit zu Zeit etwas Tsubaki-Öl auf.
Ein Nachschlagewerk für Stahlsorten
Griffpflege : Wenn Sie ein Messer mit einem nicht stabilisierten Holzgriff haben, können Sie von Zeit zu Zeit Tsubaki-Öl oder ein anderes lebensmittelechtes Öl auf den Griff auftragen. Lebensmittelechtes Wachs kann sowohl auf stabilisierte als auch auf nicht stabilisierte Holzgriffe aufgetragen werden. Tragen Sie niemals heißes Wachs oder Öl auf, da Sie sonst den Griff verziehen oder beschädigen könnten.
