Spyderco Murray Carter Itamae Gyuto, Super Blue/SUS410 Steel, G-10 Plainedge K15GPBNBK
Based on the meticulously handcrafted custom knives of master bladesmith Murray Carter, Spyderco’s Murray Carter® Collection showcases five traditional Japanese kitchen knife patterns in three different series. Literally translated as “cow blade,” the Gyuto is the largest knife of the group. The Japanese equivalent of a Western chef’s knife, its versatile design is suitable for slicing, carving, chopping, and detailed food preparation chores.
The most refined expression of this pattern is the Itamae™ Series Gyuto. Literally meaning “in front of the cutting board,” Itamae (pronounced ee-tah-my) is an extremely prestigious title reserved for highly skilled sushi chefs. Knives in this tier of the collection are expertly crafted from laminated steel consisting of an Aogami Super Blue core clad between layers of SUS410 stainless steel. This classic three-layer construction allows the outer layers to protect and support the ultra-hard carbon-steel center layer that forms the blade’s edge. Ground exceptionally thin for unparalleled cutting performance, the blades of the Itamae Series are paired with traditional wa-style (octagonal) handles made from stunning burl G-10 and highlighted with black G-10 ferrules.
