Black Lightning - 8in (203mm) Gyuto Chef Knife S35VN Stainless Steel

Notify me when this product is available:

"Black Lightning" 8in (203mm) k-tip gyuto chef knife. This knife design was achieved by sending a bolt of black lightning screaming through the golden sands of an incredible dune. The mark of the lightning is seen etched into the grains, with the glossy finish of the handle reflecting the transformative glass making process of intense heat on sand.

The blade is a full flat grind, and has a distal taper. It is ground thin at the edge, measuring between 0.25-0.30mm thin behind the cutting edge.⠀⠀

The blade is made from CPM S35VN hardened to 60 HRC. S35VN is the best stainless steel available for chef knife blades, combining high hardness and toughness. S35VN blades should be sharpened with a water stone, synthetic stone, or diamond. Do not use a honing steel on this blade. The edge angle is sharpened to 15 degrees and then stropped to a super sharp finish. The blade is 8” (203 mm) long, 2.08” (53 mm) tall, 0.1” (2.5 mm) thick at the spine, and 0.25-0.30mm thin behind the cutting edge. Total length of the knife is 13.19” (335 mm). 

The gyuto blade is made from S35VN high hardness stainless steel. Our handles are a hybrid style that makes them extremely comfortable to use, no matter your knife grip preference. An ambidextrous recess at the bolster area improves pinch grip comfort and stability. The full handle also provides plenty of space for a standard grip.
