No longer available
Shirogami #1 clad in ancient wrought iron, finished with a rustic black kurouchi and a lovely hazy kasumi polish. Simon's forged geometry is very impressive, shallow flat ground bevels with the blade narrowing towards the spine for a improved cutting performance. Premium fit and finish remains the focus with a beauty that is more than just skin deep.
A pure steel with amazing edge qualities, the shirogami #1 steel blade is ground on a water wheel for a consistent, easily maintainable flat primary bevel. Super thin behind the edge, the knife cuts beautifully. A classic santoku tipped gyuto profile with an fine edge geometry that moves comfortable through produce without wedging or bruising.
An ancient oak and black buffalo handle in Simon’s bespoke octagonal form with oversized ferule completes the knife. Unique, and ergonomic with subtle blade focused beauty.
If your in the market for a new Gyuto Simon's work provides quality and cutting performance way above its price point and some very cool looks as well.
