Tsuchime Skate Gyuto 226mm

Presenting an outstanding, full-size, hand-forged carbon steel workhorse of a chef knife for home cooks and working chefs alike, designed and handcrafted by Czech brothers Kamil & Michal Hanuljak. The geometry, balance, and overall feel in the hand, from the long, weighted, high-carbon blade balancing an inch in front of the choil, to the comfortable and equally as colorful handle in versatile, octagonal wa form, make this a culinary cutting tool with which to do it all. Stiff and strong along the tapering spine, the geometry and profile are versatile, designed for every cut, progressing from tall and tough above the edge’s heel, through a thin, hard, razor-sharp edge, to an extremely slim, pointed tip for detail work. The forward leaning balance point helps ensure the knife moves effortlessly through ingredients, while beautifully honed convex bevel geometry and tsuchime texturing above aid performance and food release. With 226mm / 8.9″ of edge that stands 58mm high off the cutting board, there are few if any cuts this capable tool will not excel at. And last but certainly not least, pairing nicely with the thoughtful blade finish is a handle sculpted from reclaimed skateboards, an ode to the maker’s life-long love of the sport, as well as to the creative freedom that knifemaking offers them.
