Gyuto 235mm San Mai Wrought Apex Ultra Gidgee Migaki

Crafted by Dutch bladesmith Timo Verschuren, this Gyuto is a masterful expression of contemporary European design and old-world craftsmanship. Defined by clean lines, harmonious proportions, and an uncompromising dedication to material integrity, the knife embodies a balance of function and artistry.

At its core lies Apex Ultra, a cutting-edge carbon steel revered for its ultra-fine grain structure, exceptional edge retention, and effortless sharpening. The blade is forged in San Mai construction, with a cladding of wrought iron—a material prized for its organic texture and traditional aesthetic. Finished entirely on the belt, the blade is meticulously stripped of all forge scale, revealing the full grain and character of the wrought iron cladding in striking detail. This full belt finish enhances both visual depth and tactile refinement.

The classic Gyuto profile offers outstanding versatility and control—perfect for everything from precise vegetable work to confident protein slicing. Its fine taper and responsive geometry ensure a smooth, agile cutting experience across all prep tasks.

The handle is carved from Australian Ringed Gidgee, one of the world’s densest and most durable timbers. Its rich tones and intricate figuring complement the refined blade, adding warmth and natural elegance to the composition.

Purpose-built and beautifully executed, this Gyuto reflects Timo Verschuren’s distinctive ethos—where tradition meets innovation, and every detail is intentional.
