Bocuse D'Or Damasteel Gyuto 250mm Integral

This beautiful 250mm Gyuto from Swedish bladesmith and professional chef Fredrik Spåre was made as part of a set of three knives to celebrate the Bocuse D’Or. One of the blades, a Sujihiki, was given to Sweden’s contender Chef Jimmi Eriksson. This Gyuto is the second of the three knives made, and Fredrik still holds the third. Named for the famous French chef Paul Bocuse, the Bocuse D’Or is a biennial world chef championship. The event takes place each year in Lyon, France, at the SIRHA International Hotel, Catering and Food Trade Exhibition, and is one of the world's most prestigious cooking competitions.

Each of the three blades features beautiful integral forged handles with masur birch burl and brass accents, highly polished brute de forge along the spine, and a stunning Damasteel Damascus that completes what is truly a beautiful tribute to one of the chef world’s top events.

This Gyuto features a lovely profile that delights on the cutting board. A large flat section (approximately 35%), angled towards the tip, slowly ascends in a subtle curve. It has a relatively classic design with Fredrik’s subtle touch. A 5mm thick spine tapers down to a sub-2mm thickness before hitting the needle-like tip.

Each of the three knives features a different handle profile, and, giving a nod to our very own Birch & Bevel series, this knife features the same Rokaku Hanmaru or hex-round handle. A lovely piece from Fredrik, celebrating food and cooking with a masterfully crafted example of the king of the kitchen, the Gyuto.
