{"product_id":"vintage-micarta-graphite-gyuto-209mm","title":"Vintage Micarta Graphite Gyuto 209mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Graphite Gyuto wears a vintage burgundy micarta handle in place of the usual bog oak — and there's one detail we want you to know going in: the nickel vein running through the blade meets the edge itself, on the right side near the heel. We don't believe in calling a knife like this a \"second.\" It's simply one we set aside from the main collection, and one that will serve a cook well for many years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chef knife to reach for at breakfast, lunch, and dinner — midnight snack included. Leszek Sikon achieves outstanding balance in form and utility: a tall, upswept 209mm \/ 8.2\" edge, bevel geometry that transitions from convex and sturdy at the heel to slim and precise at the tip, and a weighted, solid feel in the hand that makes effortless cuts all day feel like the expected outcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForged at his Suffolk, UK studio, Leszek delivers a dark, striking blade in house-made go mai construction. Hard at the edge in clean, Swedish-made \"Spicy White\" 26c3 carbon steel, etched and polished up through a psychedelic contrasting line of pure nickel that limits carbon diffusion, and out to foggy, forge-finished O1 tool steel cladding. On this piece, that nickel line runs all the way to the edge near the heel — a small, honest mark of the hand-forged process, and the reason this particular blade lives in the Members collection rather than the main line. As stunning as it is functional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRounded spine and choil, a rustic, organically shaped integral bolster forged by hand, and a tapered handle of vintage burgundy micarta — in place of the usual bog oak — make this knife comfortable and rewarding in any grip. A go-to workhorse for home and professional kitchens alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leszek Sikon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54527140036883,"sku":"LSK-HCK-MO","price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/leszek-sikon-vintage-micarta-graphite-gyuto-209mm-1253531567.jpg?v=1787324408","url":"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/vintage-micarta-graphite-gyuto-209mm","provider":"Eatingtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
