Inspired by the classic Japanese Gyuto yet interpreted through a distinctly contemporary lens, the blade features an assertively tapered spine that drives toward a fine, highly versatile tip—ideal for precision work, detailed slicing, and dynamic prep across proteins and produce alike. The forward-leaning balance and refined silhouette create a sensation of speed and agility in hand, while maintaining the authority and stability required for heavier tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe geometry is meticulously executed: low bevels are shaped and finished entirely by hand on whetstones, producing a highly consistent, low-drag cutting surface with excellent food release. The blade carries a traditional Kurouchi (blacksmith) finish, preserving the character of the forged surface and lending a dark, organic texture that contrasts beautifully with the refined bevel work. At its core lies Apex Ultra—one of the most advanced high-carbon steels available today—clad in a rare combination of nickel and Damasteel. This fusion provides exceptional hardness, edge retention, and toughness, while a deep etch subtly reveals the layered structure beneath the darker exterior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCompleting the build is an octagonal takedown handle crafted from textured, bead-blasted Australian Gidgee. Renowned for its extreme density, stability, and distinctive tonal depth, Gidgee offers outstanding durability in demanding kitchen environments. The bead-blasted finish enhances both tactile grip and visual character, creating a subtle matte texture that pairs harmoniously with the Kurouchi blade. A discreet friction-fit pin allows the handle to be removed with a nylon hammer for cleaning, maintenance, or future customisation—ensuring this knife is not only a high-performance cutting instrument, but a thoughtfully engineered, enduring piece of functional craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon Krichbaum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56848127852809,"sku":null,"price":11199.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/7273\/5626\/files\/Gyuto240mmDamasteelApexUltraGidgeeBySimonKrichbaum0023.jpg?v=1773269810","url":"https:\/\/moderncooking.com\/en-pl\/products\/gyuto-240mm-gomai-damasteel-ni-apex-ultra-thuya-burl-takedown-copy","provider":"moderncooking.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
