“I built the damascus to appear to
be random from one angle, but it has
laddered chatoyance when the light
catches it,” Mabry noted of the gyuto’s
blade. “Th is knife is designed to be a
veggie and protein slayer. It’s just a smidge
thick to be considered a laser but it’s still
fairly thin. As a former professional chef,
I try to build ultra-performance kitchen
knives. Don’t disrespect your food with
dull knives!”
