Constellations Honyaki Gyuto 200mm

Forged at the hands of bladesmith Emiliano Carrillo, employing his extensive knowledge of traditional techniques and design, comes a 200mm / 7.9″ gyuto in abuild crafted for versatile daily meal prep. Emiliano selects W2 high-carbon tool steel, prized for its cleanliness from low alloying, the tough, hard edge it can take, its ease of sharpening, and its ability to show a beautiful hamon, the result of his careful, differential hardening process, water quench, and final polish and etch. Balancing a touch in front of the blade’s 50mm tall heel, this stunning tool is steady in the hand, moving naturally and easily, allowing the silky, convex, symmetrical bevels to move effortlessly through ingredients. Wide, rounded, polished, and rigid out of the handle, the blade’s spine tapers only slightly until the final inches where an especially thin, needle-like tip is its end point. The slim, razor-sharp edge is backed by enough material to stand up to demanding work, making this knife a fantastic daily workhorse for home cooks and professional chefs alike. With just enough curvature to rock gently on the board, the edge profile is dynamic and efficient, designed especially for push-pull chopping and precise slicing work. As handsome as the blade is a handle sculpted for right-handed chefs in a D-shape wa form that pairs gorgeous birds-eye maple with an iron bolster finished with sabitsuke patina and fine silver ten zogan inlays to produce a visually striking, tactile experience. A matching birds-eye maple saya is included.
