Gyuto 220mm Ku Mai

Stainless steel, nickel, a 31-layer Damascus, more nickel and finally a 64+ HRC 1.2519 core make up what can only be described as a work blacksmith artistry. A Ku Mai K-Tip Gyuto from San Mai master Martin Huber.

The blade profile features a subtle distal taper at the spine that remains relatively thick up until it reaches the grind. It’s no work horse, but it does give the knife a nice stable feel about it. The super thin edge features a relatively flat profile with a nice amount of curve towards the tip. It’s an allrounder and comfortably makes its way through most tasks.

A high standard of fit and finish can be found on all Martin Huber knives, his hidden tang knives feature his screw fastened tapered Rokkaku Hanmaru handles, great balance and ergonomics and lovely satisfying weight. This blade has been paired with a Curly Acacia, Carbon and Ancient Oak handle, a subtle classy grip that really lets the beautiful Ku Mai steel sing.

If you have been looking for nice allrounder Gyuto for cruising through root vegetables and like, then this lovely piece from Martin will certainly do the trick.
