Gyuto 230mm GoMai Ironwood Full Tang
There is a level of precision to Tobias Hangler’s work that is undeniably satisfying. Be it the exceptional fit and finish on his tapered full tang handles or the perfection exhibited in his convex ground bevels. This k-tipped Gyuto features a very stable geometry, unyielding at the spine, with virtually no flex. The tip is fine and perfect for pushing in on produce like onions and the like when dicing. At the edge Tobias takes full advantage of the super tough Apex Ultra steel core and has ground extremely thin and razor sharp.
The Apex Ultra core is clad in nickel and 80Crv2 giving this blade a tough exterior over the already super premium core. The dark grey etched blade with its striking nickel diffusion barrier has a dark and stormy feel about it and the Ironwood and brass fittings give it a timeless, and classy appeal.
Tobias’s work is not only timeless in terms of style, but it is built to last. The clearly tough build quality and best-in-class Apex core tell you that this knife is built to survive generations of loving food preparation. A high performance cutting tool from heal to tip.

Product Care:
Cleaning: Clean by hand with warm water. Avoid wetting the handle when possible.
Sharpening: We advise using whetstones to sharpen your knives and a honing rod or steel to maintain the burr between sharpening sessions.
Reactive Steels: Reactive steels like Aogami Super, Apex Ultra or one of the many premium reactive German and Swedish steels are susceptible to rust if not properly cared for. In this case we advise that you keep the knife dry between uses and when storing the knife for longer periods wiping the knife blade with Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil is a wise choice. This will not stop a patina forming on the blade, but it will stop rust. A patina can be a beautiful personal feature on your knife and helps to stop rust forming. So, dry your knife regularly between uses, store in a dry place and apply some Tsubaki oil from time to time when storing for long periods.

Handle Care: If you have a knife with a non-stabilised wooden handle, you can apply Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil to your handle from time to time. Food safe wax can be applied to both stabilised and no-stabilised wooden handles. Never apply hot wax or oil as you risk warping or damaging the handle.
