Blenheim Forge Full Tang Gyuto Knife

Handmade in London and exclusive to Borough Kitchen, this versatile Japanese-style gyuto knife has a full tang handle for excellent blade-to-handle balance. 

---DETAILS---

Located in a small workshop under an archway in South London, Blenheim Forge's Japanese-style carbon steel knives are handmade and unique. Each knife is crafted with a core of premium Aogami super steel, clad with rust-proof stainless steel until the tip of the blade. This steel is known not just for its sharpness, but its ability to maintain that sharp edge for long periods of time, and how easy it is to sharpen. The stainless steel-clad blades make these knives easier to keep clean, as there is no need to oil the sides of the blades to prevent them from rusting. What sets the Full Tang range apart is the handles, which have copper rivets and an ergonomic shape in the tradition of European knives, as well as a full tang (the exposed metal along the handle). The full tang shows how each knife is made from a single piece of steel, which allows for more controlled feel when chopping and excellent blade-to-handle balance. The walnut wood is sustainably sourced from fallen trees in the M25 area by an enterprise that trains underprivileged youth in joinery and furniture making. Exclusive to Borough Kitchen, this gyuto knife is similar in shape to a European chef’s knife, but slightly longer (like a carving knife). It is perfect for slicing through meat, fish and vegetables. The profile is flatter towards the heel for chopping and the gradual curve towards the tip is designed for comfortable rocking action.

---BENEFITS---

'Blenheim Forge knives are truly artisanal, made by a small team of dedicated craftspeople in Peckham. Their blades taper along the spine, which provides more power, control, and balance when chopping – this shape is noåt possible to achieve in a machine. The full tang construction of this range makes them even more comfortable to hold, with handles that provide an ultra-secure grip.'
