An In Depth Look

Blade Type
Blade Type

The Gyuto knife, a cornerstone of Japanese culinary tradition, is a versatile, all-purpose chef's knife. Its name, translating to "beef sword," reflects its proficiency in slicing meat and in more modern times vegetables. However, its slightly curved blade excels in chopping, dicing, and mincing, making it indispensable in any kitchen.

Steel Type
Steel Type Read

ApexUltra is a steel truly worthy of handcrafted knives. It is a low alloy design that is forgeable, forge-weldable, and its fine carbides make the steel relatively easy to finish and sharpen. With its high purity and well-balanced alloy composition it has the highest toughness of all knife steels tested so far in the 66+ HRC range along with excellent edge retention.

Care Information
Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

"I’m a part-time knifemaker located in Cracow, Poland. I have always been appreciative of high quality handmade tools, kitchen knives in particular. Simple in nature and function, yet so sophisticated in design and making. This encouraged me to humbly start making my own.

My focus is to create functional, one of a kind knives and kitchen tools that both perform and look great. To me, the process of making each one of my knives is a time intensive yet exciting journey, and I am confident that once finished, each one will bring me pride, and you - satisfaction."
