: David Tuthill has been a blacksmith for many years, creating elegant ornamental ironwork. 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.
This chef’s knife (gyuto) will be an exceptional multipurpose kitchen knife. From mincing and chopping garlic or chives, to preparing full meals, this will be your go-to knife! The blade height gives plenty of clearance over a cutting board, while the 8 inch blade is easy to maneuver.
The blade is hand forged from David’s own damascus combining 1080 and 15n20 carbon steels. This ensures the knife will have excellent edge holding and chip resistance. A distal taper provides excellent balance. The spine and choil have been nicely rounded for comfort. Because this knife is forged from carbon steels, we recommend using camellia oil to avoid rust and oxidation.

The bolster is integral to the blade with the damascus pattern flowing uninterrupted. Creating an integral bolster in a custom setting requires a particularly talented smith.
The handle is stabilized, red dyed spalted maple burl. The contoured handle provides a comfortable grip and nicely accommodates a pinch grip. Nickel and vulcanized paper spacers finish the handle. This is a knife you won’t want to put down!
Excellent work throughout!
