Gyuto 230mm Copper Etched Wrought SanMai SheffCut Core

The first contribution from UK bladesmith Konstantinos Noulis. This incredible Gyuto 230mm knife features a tall K-Tip profile. The blade features a subtle distal tapering, with a ridged spine that makes it perfect for working through tougher materials like root vegetables. The edge is nice and thin, it's not a delicate edge, but its thin enough to ensure a balance between great cutting performance and durability at the same time. Well balanced and satisfyingly weighted. At the core we find premium SheffCut steel, which is essentially 26C3 with added Niobium for improved wear resistance.

The blade features a unique and iconic copper etched wrought iron cladding. The etching significantly improved the wear resistance of the wrought iron and creates a beautiful high contrast look on the blade. Pared with copper and ironwood, this is a stunning piece from Konstantinos.

At Modern Cooking we pride ourselves on curating some of the best work from around the world. High performance and quality craftsmanship always come first. Some of the highlights in terms of quality on this blade are the of course the geometry and forging quality of the blade, but also an heirloom fit on the copper bolster and the beautifully ergonomic shaping of the handle itself. Konstantinos is a very talented craftsman and we are thrilled to have him join our Collectors Selection.
