Doberman Forge 80CRV2 French Chef 240mm. Gabe Mabry is a new addition to our line-up of US based blacksmiths. He runs a shop in Albemarle, North Carolina named Doberman Forge and won the prestigious blacksmithing contest Forged in Fire, which airs on the History Channel. We have been adding more American smiths to our store recently and we are particularly happy to welcome Gabe to the CKTG family. The gyuto being featured here is a beautiful example of his artistic and blacksmithing skills. It is made from one of his favorite steels, 80CRV2, which he hand-forges into shape in the old tradition, with a hammer! The knife is a mono-steel construction, so it has no lamination. It has a beautiful grind resulting in a knife that is not quite a laser yet is thin and fast in hand. The blade is belt finished. The profile is quite flat to just over the halfway point and then transitions into a nice gentle belly to the very fine tip. This is Gabe's take on the classic French profile that is very popular with many chefs. This custom knife will perform as well as it looks. Highly recommended.
