Gabe Mabry, the skilled artisan behind Doberman Forge in Albemarle, North Carolina, brings you this exquisite knife, crafted with precision and passion.
With a strong culinary background, Gabe meticulously designs and grinds each knife for peak performance. This knife is forged from 80CrV2, Gabe's preferred steel, known for its exceptional toughness and edge retention, comparable to the renowned 5160 and 52100 steels. Heat-treated to an impressive HRC 61, this steel was selected as the top choice by our forum members in a recent poll.
The knife features a refined gyuto profile with a slightly straighter spine, elevating the tip to create a more rounded edge from the midpoint onward. It also includes a generous flat section near the heel, perfect for push cutting enthusiasts.
The full tang construction is complemented by a beautifully sculpted handle made from dyed, stabilized burlwood, offering both comfort and elegance. This is more than just a knife; it’s a masterpiece, handcrafted by a true forge artisan.
