The blade takes inspiration from the classic Japanese Gyuto, reimagined through a distinctly contemporary lens. It features an aggressively tapered spine that drives toward a sharp, versatile tip—ideal for precision work, detail slicing, and a wide range of prep tasks. The forward-leaning balance and sleek silhouette give the knife a fast, agile feel in hand, while retaining the stability and authority required for more demanding cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe blade geometry is meticulously refined: low bevels are shaped and finished entirely by hand on whetstones, creating a highly consistent, low-drag cutting surface with excellent food release and a smooth glide through product. In this iteration, the blade is finished in a traditional Kurouchi (blacksmith) finish, preserving the character of the forged surface and lending the knife a darker, more rugged aesthetic. The core is forged from Apex Ultra—one of the finest high-carbon steels available today—clad in a rare combination of nickel and Damasteel. This material fusion delivers exceptional hardness, edge retention, and toughness, while a deep etch subtly reveals the layered structure beneath the darkened exterior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCompleting the build is a striking octagonal takedown handle crafted from African Blackwood. Dense, stable, and richly dark in tone, African Blackwood offers exceptional durability and a refined, understated elegance that complements the Kurouchi blade finish. The handle incorporates a discreet friction-fit pin, allowing it to be removed with a nylon hammer for thorough cleaning, maintenance, or future customisation. This takedown construction enhances both practicality and longevity—ensuring the knife remains not only a high-performance cutting tool, but a lasting and adaptable piece of functional craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon Krichbaum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56848128147721,"sku":null,"price":10695.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/7273\/5626\/files\/Gyuto230mmDamasteelApexUltraEbonyBySimonKrichbaum0036.jpg?v=1773267593","url":"https:\/\/moderncooking.com\/en-pl\/products\/gyuto-240mm-gomai-damasteel-ni-apex-ultra-thuya-burl-takedown-copy-copy","provider":"moderncooking.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
