Gyuto 225mm Vtoku2 Stainless Clad African Blackwood Synthetic Whetstones A very nice knife forgedA very classy piece from Skye Eilers. A hidden tang, western style handle with some lovely curves and facettes, a Vtoku2 core clad in stainless steel and styled with a hammered texture, satin polished edge band and pitch black forced patina. Skye does incredible work on his handles and this one is amazingly comfortable, and thoughtfully positioned in relation to the blade edge. The result, an incredible cutting action that is very satisfying. Skyes
