ScheepersBuilt X Oliver Märtens Gyuto 220mm
Luke Scheepers and Oliver Märtens partnered on this unique and exquisite kitchen knife, blending their distinct styles and expertise to create a high-performance K-Tip Gyuto. Luke's "Technobark" K-Tip Gyuto showcases his minimalist, contemporary design and outstanding craftsmanship. The blade, crafted from 52100 premium carbon steel, is meticulously ground with a precision CNC mill, resulting in an ultra-fine hollow above the convex bevels. This S geometry not only reduces drag but also enhances food release, ensuring finer cuts with ease.
The blade, precise in every way, features exceptional fit, finish, and performance and is designed for precision and control. Weighing just 176g, it offers a balanced and comfortable handling experience. The 52100 steel's remarkable edge retention and toughness make it a reliable tool for any culinary task. Its textured, Kurouchi, and satin polish finish add to its aesthetic appeal, reflecting the meticulous attention to detail in its construction.
Oliver Märtens contributes his expertise in handle design, creating a stunning complement to the blade. From his studio near Frankfurt, Germany, Oliver crafted the handle using a milled aluminum frame and striking dyed maple burl scales. Seamlessly fitted to the blade, the pairing is an instant match. Together, Luke and Oliver's collaboration results in a knife that is not only visually captivating but also delivers exceptional performance, making it an invaluable addition to any kitchen.

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.
