"Skygger" 210mm ApexUltra Crescent Gyuto
Combining this design, steel, and handle I hope achieves a balance of both simplicity and incredible depth. In both aesthetics and performance, this knife desires the peak. A very high heel and a fine tip leave the cutting possibilities wide-open. The grind compliments the hand-forged initial beveling to create a convex lower bevel that is incredibly thin behind the edge. There are many fine details I enjoyed putting into this that I think unveil themselves the longer the knife is in the hand. Like the rugged hand-forged damascus cladding being kissed with a touch of temper coloring, or the almost cousin-like colors of the mango wood and the damascus. From the moment I etched this one, it felt like it was well-traveled.
