Forged in a 5-layer Go Mai construction with an \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eApex Ultra\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e core, it is designed for serious cutting work while maintaining the visual and tactile qualities that define Jeroen’s integral pieces. The longer profile and generous blade height give the knife a composed, authoritative feel on the board, making it particularly well suited to larger ingredients, high-volume prep, and users who appreciate a Gyuto with a little more reach and substance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAt the heart of the blade is \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eApex Ultra\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, a high-performance carbon steel known for its extremely fine grain, excellent edge stability, and outstanding sharpness potential. Hardened to \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e66 HRC\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, it offers exceptional cutting performance and strong edge retention for those willing to care for a non-stainless knife properly. The \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eacid-etched forced patina\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e gives the blade a darker, more subdued finish while also highlighting the character of the layered construction. Over time, the blade will continue to develop its own surface character through use, reinforcing the individuality of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe geometry has been developed to support both power and control. With a spine measuring \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e4.67 mm at the heel\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e3.15 mm at mid-blade\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, and \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 mm near the tip\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, the knife carries reassuring strength through the rear of the blade while still tapering enough to support precise, controlled tip work. The \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003econvex grind\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e helps reduce cutting resistance and encourages improved food release, while the \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e56 mm blade height\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e provides excellent knuckle clearance and a confident working platform.
