An In Depth Look

Blade Type

The Gyuto is the do-it-all, general purpose chef's knife. If you are looking for an all-rounder that can handle daily veg and protein prep and portioning, this is the one! A 210mm edge length is the most common, but try a 240mm if you prefer larger knives.

Steel Type Read

Spicy White is a High-Carbon Steel, hardened to 64HRC by Leszek. It has great edge retention and toughness, and has been etched for corrosion resistance.

Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

Leszek Sikoń

Originally from Poland, I came to the UK 14 years ago. I earnt a decent living as a middle manager in the retail yet this career left me feeling wholly unfulfilled. I knew that I wanted to create something that would last. I was used to getting dirty and working with my hands – so I was thrilled to learn that Hereford College of Arts ran a blacksmithing course. The next thing I knew, I’d quit my job and started training.

Since then I produced a series of superb artisan tools and knives, using age-old skills to produce modern objects of desire. My inspiration comes from the history and the traditional methods, getting to grips with hammer, tongs, and fire. For having these skills has paid off more than a career in retail ever would.

Beautiful Statement Piece

A stunning knife with the bright nickel streak contrasting the black cladding and handle integration that looks like a combination between a Wa and Yo styles, it has sparked conversation already. Not the sharpest out of the box but a quick touch up on the stones and it's shaving sharp. It also has notably better food release than my other gyuto due to the cladding.

Fantastic work blade. Great feel in hand, weight and balance immediately noted on picking the blade upfirst time

Outstanding knife

I have many high quality hand made knives; but this one from Leszek I like the most! Oustanding work!

Leszek Sikoń San Mai Gyuto 200mm

Beautiful craftsmanship, great design, razor sharp out of the box, a bit front heavy in comparison to other similar sized blades. Great for heavy duty work.

You can see and feel the amazing craftsmanship that has gone into the making of this Knife. This isn’t just a knife it is a work of art!

Stunning

This knife is an art. I thought it would be pretty heavy but it is a well balanced knife. I bought knives that are supposedly lighter than this
But they feel heavier in hand. The packaging is amazing. Cheers to Ben who has been really helpful on my online shopping for knives, stones and tools.

Truly, a work of art.

In both form and function, this knife is absolute perfection. The craftsmanship of this knife is at a level I've not yet experienced with any other knife. I feel like I not only gained an incredible knife, I also gained an artwork for my collection. I could not be more pleased with my purchase and the service provided by Chefs Edge.

amazing work! thanks again!

amazing work! thanks again!
the art work on the knives are absolutely amazing and worth every cent,
the person I spoke to that helped organize and sort things was extremely professional and helpful, amazing customer service !
honestly, being Perth based were extremely lucky to have this sort of shops available, there's nothing else even remotely close.
As a chef myself I've struggled to find any decent knives that I could buy in Perth, and everything had to be ordered online, Chefs Edge solved this problem,
all whilst delivering amazing service !

Cheers!
