"Tortuga" 8in (203mm) k-tip gyuto chef knife. Tortuga was a small town on a Caribbean island. This scenic hideaway, with its clear views of a crystalline sea and sandy beaches, was also a getaway spot for some of the most successful and notorious pirates. The waters of the city shone turquoise as clear blue waves mixed with the ever-flowing rum, and the waters glistened gold with the submerged mounds of loot that would fall from ships as they entered harbor. This knife is that whole town. Come get yours.
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.
