Gyuto 240mm Iron Clad Apex Kogatana Set

Joel Black continues to produce his Gyuto, Kogatana sets and it is clearly becoming a signature design for the ex pro-chef come artisan bladesmith. Joel’s knives are characterised by premium stone finished bevels and geometry inspired by his years in the professional kitchen, and clearly a touch of Japanese design. The highly tapered geometry sets his work apart from classic Japanese kitchen knives. The tapered geometry gives his knives a highly versatile design perfect for fine cuts and more workhorse cuts alike.

However, the beautiful stone polished bevels, which are a signature feature on Joels knive’s and the classic octagonal handles show that his knives are clearly inspired by Japanese design. This blade features a house forged Apex Ultra, Iron Clad, SanMai with a rustic blacksmith finish and Kasumi polish. The grip is a beautiful combination of Black Palm, Mammoth Molar and Buffalo horn. The Kogatana is Apex Ultra clad in Damascus and both knives fit in the Bog Oak Saya.  

This is the perfect set for a professional chef to carry daily or as a perfect starter set for any home kitchen. The kogatana for the fine details and the Gyuto for everything else.
