Sleipner Stonewashed Gyuto Japanese Chef Knife Blank - SLC02
A gyuto earns its place as the all-rounder of a Japanese kitchen set. The profile carries enough belly for rocking work while keeping the flat section long enough for clean push cuts through vegetables. A hidden tang knife blank, made for a wa handle or a block handle.
Sleipner is for makers who want tool steel performance without full carbon-steel maintenance. Its chromium content resists staining, and the hardness it reaches keeps an edge through serious work.
Our process is deliberately simple: certified Voestalpine steel, hand grinding in our workshop, then professional heat treatment back at Voestalpine. That is why the hardness figures below are reliable.

Handle work here is a wa fit rather than scales — burn the tang in, seat the ferrule, and you have a finished Japanese chef knife without a single pin showing.
We keep a full range of chef knife blanks and knife maker supplies in stock, from paring blades to full tang cleavers. Arrives ground and sharpened, so the only work left is the handle. Ask for it unsharpened if you prefer.
