Simon Maillet 135Cr3 Twisted Suminagashi Gyuto 240mm
A true collectors piece from one of our favourite independent blacksmiths Simon Maillet.
We've had the pleasure of spending time with Simon in his Sheffield workshop and he was kind enough to make this wonderful knife for us before he moves back to his native France and what a treat this latest model from his "Trash knife" project is.
With a long flat profile, beautiful taper and thin tip, Simon's knives are exceptional performers and this model is one of his latest experiments showing off a deep etched "twisted" design and kasumi finish paired with a classy single piece dark bog oak handle.
This knife is balanced perfectly for use in a pinch grip and the significant height at the heel offers additional clearance for larger ingredients.
The "Trash Knife" is an extension of Simon's philosophy that re-using, recycling and transforming existing materials are a core his of craft as a knife maker and so he spends time searching for materials to use in his work including the cladding material for this particular knife which came from farm equipment in Scotland.
🗝 This is an archive item. It's either so unique it's never coming back into stock, extremely difficult to source or discontinued.
If we able to source more of this knife, it will be restocked in the all knives collection and we will share details via our newsletter and Instagram.
