Some knives are special because of the steel, the finish, or the maker behind them. Others become special because of the way everything comes together. This custom Gyuto is one of those pieces.
Built around a Japanese blade and assembled in-house here at the shop, this one-off setup has been paired with a custom stabilized wood handle featuring flowing red epoxy throughout. The handle brings a bold, almost liquid movement to the knife, with deep red tones running through the wood in a way that feels energetic, modern, and completely unique.
The contrast between the blade and handle is what gives this piece its personality. The Japanese craftsmanship keeps the knife grounded in performance and tradition, while the custom handle adds a more expressive, contemporary edge. It feels refined, but not quiet, the kind of knife that catches attention without needing to be overdone.
In use, the Gyuto profile remains one of the most versatile shapes in the kitchen. At 210mm, it offers enough length for smooth slicing, proteins, vegetables, and larger prep tasks, while still staying controlled and comfortable for everyday cooking. It is the Japanese interpretation of the classic chef’s knife, built to handle a wide range of kitchen work with ease.
The blade is made to perform, with a thin, efficient edge feel that moves cleanly through ingredients and keeps prep work smooth and precise. Whether used for vegetables, herbs, meat, or general mise en place, it brings the balance and cutting ability people look for in a quality Japanese kitchen knife.
What makes this one truly stand apart is the fact that it will not be repeated. The stabilized wood, the red flowing epoxy, the fit, the balance, and the final pairing all come together as a unique in-house custom build, a functional kitchen tool with the presence of a collector’s piece.
