Gyuto 190mm Apex Ultra Black Palmira

A beautifully simple mono steel Gyuto with a 190mm blade forged in none other than Apex Ultra. The steel that Tobias has developed in partnership with Bladesmith Marco Guldimann and metallurgist Larrin Thomas.

A full tang blade forged to HRC 67, this is one of the hardest and toughest knives to come through our doors. Ok, ok, its hard and that means its sharp, but won’t it be tough to sharpen? Well in our experience, not really. We didn’t find it any harder to sharpen than 1.2519 or R2. So, reasonable to maintain, but razor sharp and durable.

The profile is a point Gyuto profile, very easy going on the cutting board and at 190mm this is a nimble, surgical feeling blade that easily makes its way through delicate detail work and more robust cutting tasks with ease.

The handle features beautiful fit and finish with a lovely facetted sharp that sits beautifully in the hand. The handle is made from black Palmira a stunning and unique figure in dark black and brown hues. Every edge on the blade is nicely rounded and the knife feel perfect balanced with the satisfying weight you would expect from a full tang knife like this.

Tobias has done a very nice job on this full tang Gyuto and we are sure it will make someone very happy.
