Quarry Cocobolo Gyuto 218mm

Dressed in beautiful cocobolo wood with a brass and melted copper retention nut and blade of house-made san mai steel forged from Hitachi Gin-3 stainlessat the core and cladding of salvaged quarry iron, this new chef knife from Jezz Heywood is a stunner from top to bottom. Silky, hand-sanded satin bevels are convex and nicely balanced, contrasted visually with forge-finished flats that show the marks of the blade’s hand-hammered origins. Thin just behind the edge, with a stiff, rounded, polished spine and workhorse feel in the hand, this 218mm / 8.6″ gyuto rocks smoothly on the board while offering a relatively flat profile and low, pointed tip for push-pull cuts and detail work. An excellent and versatile daily user from the Australian bladesmith behind Oblivion Blades.
