{"product_id":"jade-ember-gyuto-181mm","title":"Jade Ember Gyuto 181mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eJames Oatley builds this profile in small variations from time to time, always shaped from northern Sweden's Vinland-pattern Damasteel stainless damascus, and always finished with a handle of depth and character. This one, pre-owned in unused, pristine condition just in from James' studio, wears quilted maple burl dyed a pale, smoky green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCryogenically treated and hardened to 64 HRC, the high-performance Damasteel holds a thin, razor-sharp edge behind pronounced convex bevels, with a stiff, faceted spine built to take on hard, repetitive board work without flexing or fatiguing the hand. The edge runs relatively straight along its 181mm \/ 7.3\" length, enough for confident push-pull chopping, with just enough curvature near the tip to rock through finer cuts, and a fine, pointed tip for detail work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 55mm tall at the heel, the blade carries plenty of height for full knuckle clearance, and the heel itself angles backward to sit under the fingers in a pinch grip, a signature of James's builds that adds control while keeping the whole knife compact for its edge length. Light in hand at 5oz \/ 142g, on a 335mm \/ 13.0\" overall knife, this is a nimble, quick-moving blade rather than a heavy one, with the geometry narrowing to 1.2mm an inch from the tip while still measuring a sturdy 2.3mm at the choil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle, quilted maple burl in that pale green dye, is shaped in James's well-loved wa form and fitted with a domed bronze pin for easy removal during care or maintenance. A custom saya of quilted maple is included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Oatley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54605314261267,"sku":null,"price":2550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/james-oatley-jade-ember-gyuto-181mm-1255661819.jpg?v=1787598069","url":"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/jade-ember-gyuto-181mm","provider":"Eatingtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
