Gyuto 240mm 100Cr6 Integral

Martin Huber Gyuto 240mm with a forged integral handle, screw fastened hidden tang construction and a mono steel (100Cr6) blade. The blade features a highly polished, forged finish up near the spine, which provides a lovely textured surface to pinch. Below, the face has been satin polished with visible, but consistent sanding lines diagonally reaching down towards the edge of the blade. It’s a beautiful effect that pairs perfectly with the cement like texture of the forged finish at the spine.

When it comes to geometry, this blade features some aggressive lines. A relatively thick, but tapered spine and a needle like K-tip make for a versatile blade that I would consider a nimble workhorse. The edge profile is very much a classic Japanese Gyuto. A nicely convexed blade with a thin, sharp edge and robust, yet tapered spine.

It’s just aesthetics, but Martin has given this blade a pair of 45-degree facets along the spine that look very cool. They are smooth to the touch and only effect the blade from an aesthetics perspective, but it’s a nice feature and a unique look.

Reach for the handle and you will be very impressed. The forged integral feels very comfortable in a pinch and the knife is balanced perfectly over those angled shoulders. A bespoke octagonal combination of steel, carbon, and a beautiful piece of stabilised, spalted Beech makes for a very classy combination. Paired with the polished 100Cr6 steel blade the complete package is 100% on point!
