Gyuto 250mm SanMai Wrought Iron & Nickel Damascus Clad 1.2519 Full Polish

Every now and then a knife passes through our doors that is very difficult to let go of. This is one of those knives. Tobias Heldqvist is monkish in his focus and dedication to quality and precision. This knife shows the result of that dedication in every millimetre.

Beautifully forged and ground the blade features stone ready flat bevels with exceptional consistency and a nail flex fine and razor-sharp edge. The edge profile is virtually flat with a delightfully subtle radius, which gently sweeps toward the tip. This knife will perform exceptionally well as a slicer, push cutter and chopper.

The light etching reveals the low layer wrought iron and nickel Damascus pattern, which over time will develop as patina forms on the satin polished blade. 1.2519 tungsten alloyed steel sits at the core and offer sensational edge retention and sharpness. The core and cladding are separated by a beautifully subtle contrast, it's a very classy effect. Highlighting his skill, Tobias has given this blade a beautifully defined shinogi line, which gives this blade a very robust character.

The blade is forged full tang. The tang is tapered and fitted with a striking set of gold infused, tear drop pattern, carbon fibre scales with black and white G10 inlays. This is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship from one of Europe’s finest blacksmiths.
