Gyuto 265mm Damascus Twist Vintage Micarta & Stainless Steel
The latest from Antoine Kniamen is this 265mm Gyuto featuring a pointed profile that is great for pushing in on onions and other detail oriented tasks. Relatively thin and tapered the blade will be a great slicer perfect for fine and delicate material, while still versatile enough to work its way through larger produce. The edge feels fine and sharp with enough toothiness to cut through skinned produce like tomatoes, but with a good amount of polish to not damage more delicate material. Walkschliff ground for good food release and minimal friction. Performance is unquestionably here.
A stunning work of art this piece has been forged from a house made twist damascus, which Antoine built his own custom machinery to produce. O2 and 15n20 forge laminated, twisted and then pressed flat to produce this stunning mosaic pattern. Paired with beautiful vintage butterscotch linen Micarta and 304l stainless hardware.
The knife feels timeless from the moment you lay hands on it. Flawless in its craftsmanship this is the kind of kitchen knife that becomes a family heirloom and brings generations of joy in the kitchen.
The knife comes with a handmade leather wrap.

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.
