Spyderco – SCK19GP – Murray Carter Wakiita Gyuto Chef Knife – CTS-BD1N Satin – G10 – Black

Description

The Spyderco K19GP Wakiita Gyuto Chef Knife is a refined, professional-grade kitchen tool born from the collaboration between Spyderco and master bladesmith Murray Carter. Inspired by traditional Japanese cutlery, the “Gyuto” — which translates to “cow blade” — is the Japanese counterpart to the Western chef’s knife, ideal for a broad range of culinary tasks including slicing, chopping, mincing, and precision carving. Whether you’re prepping vegetables or filleting proteins, the K19GP is engineered for excellence and longevity in both professional and home kitchens. Part of the Wakiita Series—Spyderco’s second-tier offering within the Murray Carter Collection—this knife bridges traditional Japanese aesthetics with cutting-edge materials and modern craftsmanship. The Wakiita Series is named after the seasoned apprentices in Japanese kitchens, reflecting the balance of skill and potential embodied in these blades. At the heart of the K19GP is its blade, meticulously ground from CTS-BD1N, a nitrogen-enriched stainless steel known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Each blade showcases the signature “Carter Elbow,” a gradual taper from the spine to the point that adds durability and reinforces the blade tip for superior control and performance. The handle is equally impressive—crafted from polished black G-10, a resilient and lightweight epoxy-filled fiberglass material. Its traditional wa-style (octagonal) design promotes enhanced grip, balance, and tactile feedback, whether you’re working with wet hands or executing intricate cuts. With its elegant profile, ultra-thin geometry, and high-performance materials, the Spyderco K19GP Wakiita Gyuto is a masterful representation of East-meets-West kitchen innovation—built to meet the standards of discerning chefs worldwide.
