Product detailed description

Chef's knife SOK Chef Black Widow

The Gyuto knife, also known as the Chef knife, is a symbol of versatility, balance and precision performance. It is inspired by Japanese tradition, but perfectly adapted to the needs of the modern kitchen. The name "Gyuto" literally means "meat slicer", which describes its original purpose, but today this knife is valued for its versatility - it can handle a wide range of kitchen tasks with complete ease.

With a blade shape that tapers gracefully from the spine and blade to a fine point, it provides maximum control, precision and smoothness of movement for any slicing task. It is ideal for cutting meat, slicing fish, cleaning, as well as preparing fruits and vegetables. The higher tip also allows for cradling herbs, garlic or nuts, making the knife a truly versatile tool in the kitchen.

The Gyuto blade is thin but extremely strong and sharp - it slices with minimum resistance and maximum precision. This makes working with it not only efficient, but also extremely pleasant. The balanced design and ergonomic handle ensure perfect stability and comfort for prolonged work, whether you are a professional or a passionate home cook.

The Gyuto Dellinger knife is a combination of Japanese elegance, European strength and modern technology. It's a knife that handles everything from delicate fillets to precise vegetable slicing with the ease, precision and elegance that only true master tools offer.

Spider web on the blade

The blade of the knives is made of 10Cr15CoMoV steel - equivalent to the famous Japanese VG10 steel - with a hardness of 61 ± 1 HRC according to Rockwell. This steel is characterized by high corrosion resistance , exceptional hardness and long-lasting sharpness, which will stand up to everyday use.

The core is sandwiched between 66 layers of two stainless steels of different hardnesses, which ensure excellent strength, toughness and flexibility of the blade. Thanks to this layering, the knife acquires not only exceptional durability, but also acharacteristic damascus structure that is visually and functionally unique.

The perfectly balanced, precisely tapered, Japanese-shaped blade with the sparkling SPIDER NET damascene pattern minimizes friction when cutting and prevents the material being cut from sticking to the blade. This dynamic and unique pattern, reminiscent of a stormy sea or a delicate spider's web, isunique to each knife - becoming a symbol of individuality, elegance and craftsmanship. Unlike conventional damascus blades, which undergo chemical etching to accentuate the pattern, the knife blades are treated with a modern sandblasting method . In this process, the surface of the blade is exposed to a fine stream of abrasive particles that remove the softer layers of steel, naturally revealing the structure of the damascus. The result is a fine matt, silky, glossy surface with high resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage without the need for chemicals.

Precision vacuum heat hardening is applied in the production process to increase the strength, stability and durability of the steel. This method, together with hand sharpening, gives SOK knives exceptional sharpness, precision and durability.

Beautiful handle

The handle is made of epoxy resin. It is a transparent resin colored with alcohol pigments that can change color over time. In addition, it is decorated with a central mosaic rivet with the emblem of samurai. Triple riveting ensures perfect strength, stability and connection of the damascus blade and handle. The handle is meticulously hand-polished, ergonomically shaped and designed for excellent hand control. The specially designed handle shape is suitable for Asian knife grip. The resin is waterproof and completely odourless, requiring virtually no maintenance. It won't corrode or oxidize over time, it will remain as hard and strong.

Recommendations and maintenance

Sharpening a kitchen knife

We recommend the use of diamond and water grinding stones for the knife edge. If you are not 100% sure of your skills and abilities, please contact us. We will sharpen your knives individually according to your wishes. We also regularly organize knife sharpening courses. Alternatively, look for a professional grinder in your area. Damage that could result from unprofessional grinding is irreversible.

Cleaning a kitchen knife:

Particles attached to the blade surface from aggressive substances can begin to corrode and form rust-like stains on the blade surface. However, it's not the blade that rusts, it's the attached particles. For example, baking soda is commonly used for removal, which when soaked forms a "slurry" and an old cork.
