The Vtoku2 core is clad in a stunning mokume copper, brass, and stainless-steel cladding, which is becoming a popular choice for James Oatley and it’s easy to see why. He treats it with a beautiful array of textures and finishes that provide contrast and highlight the subtle details in the steel.
Performance wise, this is James’s classic Gyuto profile. At the edge the profile is relatively flat, and the handle is angled upwards giving the knife a lovely ergonomic feel that is perfect for a push cut action. The unique santoku tipped profile has just enough point for pushing in on onions and other produce while setting up for a dice and gives the knife a fantastic stable feeling on the board. A razor-sharp edge and S grind geometry means this blade simply glides through produce effortlessly.
The handle is made of a beautiful purple dyed maple and fitted with a copper bolster it’s a stunning combination. The way James finishes the mokume clad vtoku2 steel is reminiscent of a still ocean at sunset. Orange and yellow hues reflecting off the ripples in the water gradually drifting to black. A unique and beautiful piece of performance kitchenware.
