Gyuto 220mm Honyaki Brass, Oyster Shell & Ironwood

A beautifully forged Honyaki from French artisan Evan Antzenberger. The blade feels beautifully balanced, with a satisfying weight. A robust blade that will comfortably move through  mirepoix and other vegetable prep and then easily handle proteins as well. The asymmetrical right-handed grind performs admirably and feels very comfortable in the hand.

Evan has an incredibly unique and iconic style. Small details like the oyster shell spacer and faceted brass bolster give an already beautiful knife an elevated touch of class. These features combined with a stunning piece of ironwood make for a very beautiful and comfortable handle. Forged and ground to perfection the blade features a lovely matte polish, and the dark etching gives a lovely contrast, which highlights the beautiful Hamon. Finished with a little brute de forge around the spine the knife features contrasting hues and textures throughout that can only be described as tasteful and elegant.

As discussed above this beautiful piece features some very high-end cutting performance, but the quality of the craftsmanship is undeniable throughout. An incredible piece from a very talented artisan.
