Stacked Bocote Gyuto 240mm

Handcrafted in the south of France by bladesmith and artist Milan Gravier, the Bocote Twist Gyuto leaves nothing to want. With 240mm / 9.45″ of razor-sharp edge beneath convex, stone-finished bevels, the blade is designed for unyielding performance in the chef’s kitchen. Cladding the 135Cr3 high-carbon steel core is stacked damascus made by Milan which he completes with a deep etch and a selective kurouchi finish of black iron oxide over the iron layers to produce a beautiful texture. The primary bevels are polished with natural stone from Nakayama, the highest grade finishing stone available. Treated with clay and carefully hardened, the final product is as versatile and functional as it is visually striking. A full-distal taper along the spine and accompanying paper-thin tip further adds to the knife’s versatility. His eye trained to create a singular work of culinary art that is more than the sum of its parts, Milan selects an arresting piece of bocote wood for the wa-style handle such that the damascus pattern’s lines and the natural wood’s grain complement one another handsomely. A matching saya of bocote is included.
