Shielded Blackwood Gyuto 240mm

Dressing the newest chef knife handmade in Washington State by Dan Bidinger is a gorgeous piece of Tasmanian Blackwood with grain, color, and a 3D-likechatoyance to capture the imagination. In Dan’s shield style wa profile, the handle provides comfort and control over a 240mm / 9.4″ blade shaped to perform day in and day out in the home and working kitchen alike. Traditionally shaped to provide a long, straight, gyuto-inspired edge profile that bends upwards only a touch towards a tip that sits low in relation to the handle, this knife will excel at push-pull chopping of ingredients small and large, while slicing with precision using the thin geometry and especially fine tip. Shaped in high-performance A2 carbon tool steel, the convex bevels and blade flats receive a dark, foggy, forced-patina finish that displays the material’s alloy banding beautifully. Well rounded along the blade’s spine and choil, the knife is natural and soft to the touch in the pinch grip. Balancing around an inch in front of the edge’s heel, powerful and steady describe the tool’s attributes at the cutting board. A versatile, heirloom tool for the chef’s kitchen.
