Gyuto 245mm 135Cr3 Honyaki

$1,212.00
By Evan Antzenberger
A stunning piece of craftsmanship from Evan. A combination of satin polished honyaki and brute de forge, ringed Gidgee and Mamoth Molar. The profile features a tall, almost 60mm tall blade, with a gentle and shallow radius edge which ends in a steep curve. The spine is lightly tapered, but maintains a relatively ridged feel from heel to tip.  The edge is razor thin and sharp. This blade is a beast and will make short work of any protein and happily cruise through root vegetables for days.

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. 

A reference guide to steel types

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.
