This gyuto has been forged with an Apex Ultra core and 416 Stainless cladding. With a full height grind, it provides a nice thin cutting edge, with some slight convexity behind the edge. It has a strong distal taper, going from 3.8mm above the heel, to 2.3mm ~halfway, to .8mm ~1cm from the tip, giving it a sturdy feel with a thin and nimble tip. The rear half of the blade has a flatter profile, with the front half having a bit of a belly for rock chopping. The knife has been stone finished and then the core was masked off prior to the etch to bring out the banding in the stainless while leaving the stone finish on the Apex Ultra core. It has been paired with a simple but nice piece of Gabon Ebony for the handle.
All prep work, lamination, forging, heat treat, finishing, handle work, and anything else was completed by myself in house.
