Gyuto Apex Ultra "Birchbark & Ebonized Oak" Limited Edition

Forged in Sweden by Fredrik Spare and designed in collaboration with Modern Cooking. The MCX Gyuto has now established itself as a refined, high performance favorite amongst culinary professionals and kitchen knife enthusiast. Each edition has brought refinements large and small, this edition is a special limited release forged in one of the most sort after premium kitchen knife steels, the newly released Apex Ultra.

The profile and geometry remain the same, with the original balanced design that is both robust, reassuringly stable with a little heft, and a nimble, razor-sharp, nicely tapered blade. Satisfyingly thick above the heel, yet ultra-thin at the tip and with a decent blade height, we think this is just about the perfect Gyuto profile.

Convex ground and super thin behind the edge, this blade is a dream to work with. The Apex Ultra steel gives an almost perfect Gyuto, a 66HRC super tough edge that is specially formulated for edge retention. Apex ultra is certainly a next level super steel.

This release comes with the classic Rokkaku Hanmaru MCX handle with an edgy new design that we developed in collaboration with both Fredrik Spåre and Jonas Johnsson. Ebonised(stained) Oak, Stacked Birch Bark and stainless steel combine to produce an undeniable classy handle. The complete package is perfection.
