Description: David Tuthill has been a blacksmith for many years, creating elegant ornamental work. Over the last few years, his attention to detail and skills in the forge have quickly brought him to create truly world class chef's knives.
The gyuto is modeled after the French pattern chef's knife. Longer and slimmer than the santoku, it is an exceptional general purpose chef's knife. The long blade is perfect for slicing meats and proteins. The curved blade edge provents a great rock for chopping. Whether slicing onions, chopping vegetables, or portioning meats, this gyuto handmade by Tuthill is a perfect go-to knife in the kitchen.
The blade was forged from David's own Golden Gate pattern damascus, combining 15N20 carbon steel with suspension cable from the Golden Gate Bridge. The damascus pattern is a mixture of bold and detail, such that the blade is interesting both up close and from a distance. The spine has been nicely rounded to accommodate a comfortable pinch grip. This knife is light and nimble. At 7-3/4 inches, it is easy to maneuver, yet large enough to get most any job done.
The ambidextrous traditional octagonal handle provides a sure comfortable grip, even when used for hours at a time. This handle combines cocobolo with a buffalo horn ferrule. A silicon bronze spacer assists the handle to adjust to temperature and humidity changes.
Exceptional work throughout!
