Integral twist damascus 210 Gyuto

2023

​

The top of the bill for kitchen knives, in my opinion, are damascus steel intergral knives. Handle and blade become one, and transition beautifully. The integral bolsters adds a bit of weight to the knife, which helps a lot when cutting food.

​

The blade is forged out of one single piece of 20 layer twist. A course pattern that flows gracefully from the bolster into the blade because of the knife being forged to shape. 

​

One single piece of Desert Ironwood and a combination of flowing lines and crips facets form the handle on this gyuto. The handle flows from the bolster shape with a classy heirloom fit.  

The handle is very comfortable in the hand, both in a regular grip and pinch grip. With the balance point right at the frontside of the bolster, this knife feels very nimble in hand. 

 

he damascus has been etched for a bit of dept and polished for a sublte pattern that will patina very nicely with use.

​

 

The blade has a S-grind, which is a combination between hollow bevels and a thin convex edge. The S-grind, in combination with a distal taper over the entire length gives it a thin tip, both for excellent cutting performance. This does mean, however, that the knife is not suitable for heavy chopping into bones, joints etc. Furthermore, the carbon steel requires a bit of extra maintenance to prevent rusting.
