Gyuto 235mm Mono Apex Ultra Black Etch "Duille Liath" Flared Coffin Grip
Introducing the exquisite "Duille Liath," a one-of-a-kind handmade kitchen knife masterfully forged by the renowned artisan Erik Gullikson. The name "Duille Liath," which translates to "Ashen Leaf" in Irish, is a fitting reflection of the knife’s organic elegance and timeless craftsmanship. Designed with a classic gyuto profile, this exceptional culinary tool embodies the perfect balance of tradition and innovation. The profile features a subtle, continuous radius from heel to tip, ideal for executing long, gentle slices and precise push cuts. In the hands of a skilled chef or passionate home cook, the "Duille Liath" becomes an extension of their own precision, enhancing every culinary creation with grace and ease. It’s not just a kitchen tool; it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, technique, and purpose.
At the heart of "Duille Liath" lies its superior blade geometry, which sets it apart from ordinary kitchen knives. Forged from the high-performance Apex Ultra steel, this material serves as the ultimate canvas for Erik Gullikson’s masterful execution of ultra-fine tapering. The result is a blade that feels incredibly nimble and agile, responding to the subtlest shifts in grip and motion. This tapering geometry reduces resistance as it glides through ingredients, making every cut smooth, precise, and virtually effortless. The iconic "branches" texture on the blade’s surface, paired with a black etched finish, not only enhances its visual appeal but also reflects Erik’s artistic mastery. This textured pattern offers a unique aesthetic while providing a tactile element that feels purposeful and deliberate. The artistry of the blade’s surface perfectly complements its performance, creating a knife that is as visually striking as it is technically superior.
Erik’s attention to detail extends to the handle, which features his new flared coffin taper "rokakku hanmaru" design. This ergonomic handle is crafted with a stabilised black and yellow masur birch, a material that exudes warmth and character. The heirloom-quality brass bolster, adorned with a geometric textured finish, provides both balance and durability, grounding the handle’s bold visual statement. The bolster features an heirloom fit or museum fit method, ensuring that the gaps between the bolster and the wooden section of the handle do not become uncomfortable over time should the wood move. Together, the brass bolster and the vibrant yellow and black birch create a stunning contrast against the dark, etched blade. The entire knife feels remarkably lightweight, perfectly balanced, and highly nimble, giving users the sensation of wielding a precision instrument of the highest caliber. Every aspect of "Duille Liath" showcases Erik Gullikson’s mastery of materials, geometry, and design, resulting in a kitchen knife that is as much a work of art as it is a functional masterpiece.

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.
