Gyuto 190mm Carbon Chef Brass Inlaid Name Plate SE

$1,027.00

Oozing with a sense of luxury, Oliver Märtens continues to push the limits with this latest piece forged in premium tungsten alloyed 1.2442 German tools steel. Ground walkschliff for absolute best in class cutting performance and featuring Oliver’s classic, highly tapered, angular gyuto profile. Balanced, ergonomic and with an agile, nimble feel. This is the kind of knife that you will find a joy to use every day of the week.

So, it performs and that is the priority, but Oliver is such a talented and creative designer. This knife pushes the aesthetics to the limits. The satin polished blade features subtle alloy banding throughout that will surely become more apparent with time and use, and the inlaid brass name plate is such a beautiful and ingenious feature tying the design together. Highlighting the hand-forged nature of the knife and completing the blade, Märten’s has left a touch of brute de forge at the ricasso.

An incredible combination of carbon fibre with gold and bronze hues streaking through black is paired with brass and linen micarta for the handle. A simply stunning, beautiful, and luxurious combination. A bit gushy, but we are impressed with this one.

Product Care:

Cleaning: Clean by hand with warm water. Avoid wetting the handle when possible. 

Sharpening: We advise using whetstones to sharpen your knives and a honing rod or steel to maintain the burr between sharpening sessions. 

Reactive Steels: Reactive steels like Aogami Super, Apex Ultra or one of the many premium reactive German and Swedish steels are susceptible to rust if not properly cared for. In this case we advise that you keep the knife dry between uses and when storing the knife for longer periods wiping the knife blade with Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil is a wise choice. This will not stop a patina forming on the blade, but it will stop rust. A patina can be a beautiful personal feature on your knife and helps to stop rust forming. So, dry your knife regularly between uses, store in a dry place and apply some Tsubaki oil from time to time when storing for long periods.

Handle Care: If you have a knife with a non-stabilised wooden handle, you can apply Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil to your handle from time to time. Food safe wax can be applied to both stabilised and no-stabilised wooden handles. Never apply hot wax or oil as you risk warping or damaging the handle.
