Gyuto 230mm Honyaki 26c3 Black Ash & Turquoise

Jonas Johnsson is a house favourite here at Modern Cooking. He is easily one of the most dedicated craftsmen we have come across. Each blade demonstrates a step towards perfection. This is especially true of his Honyaki blades which are a specialty and a passion for him.

Here at Modern Cooking we see a lot of Jonas’s work and while the fit and finish on standard elements like the handle fit, smoothly ground spine and choil, balance and overall styling are essentially perfect, it’s the geometry that stands out. This is the area that seems to be constantly pushing the limits of perfection.

A very high performance walkschliff, convex grind is key to the performance of this blade. The classic Gyuto profile with its super thin edge, quality flats and curves and the laser thin tapered spine result in a high level of stability with an extremely thin and finely ground, razor sharp cutting edge.

Black ash burl full of beautiful golden cats eyes, a blend of dark grey, deep blacks and even a small burgundy note, paired with a rich turquoise truestone spacer make up the classic octagonal wa handle on this blade.
