Suminagashi Ironwood Gyuto 280mm
When Alex Bazes sets out to forge a 280mm damascus-clad gyuto blade, the results speak for themselves. House-made san mai with suminagashi jackets over Takefu White carbon steel forms a razor-sharp tool capable of tackling the kitchen's most demanding work. Very thin behind the edge and balanced just in front of the blade's heel for a solid, weighted feel, the knife gives the impression, in hand and to the eye, of being more substantial than the 8oz / 226g overall weight it comes in at, making it quick, efficient and quite satisfying in the hand in spite of its size. A stunning piece of dessert ironwood is sculpted in to a simple, traditional rounded form, fastened with a single copper pin, and accented with an exquisite, hand-hammered copper ferrule.
