'Moustache - Gyotu'
'Gyuto' means 'Cow sword' and is a multifunctional knife, but with a primary aim to cut meat.
Although it is a Japanese design, the basis for Gyuto is found in Europe. Gyuto is the Japanese interpretation of the western (large) chef knife.
As the well-known cook knife in western style, the Gyuto usually has a high heel, a fairly flat profile (ideal for hacking) and a weak curve to the tip of the leaf to create a swing movement for precision work.
For most users, a Gyuto is the only knife needed in the kitchen. Although specialised blades are easier to use in some contexts, there are few tasks a Gyuto cannot handle.
Handle
The handle is a prominent part of the design. They form a signature for Sander's knives and are recognizable by their ergonomic design, the brass details and the darkness of the exclusive Wengé wood the handle is turned from.
The wood is carefully selected to give you the best user experience. The stabilized* Wengé guarantees that your handhold will remain waterproof, and no dirt will penetrate the wood.
Blade
1.4109 stainless steel is used by the modern shaving industry and distinguishes itself when it comes to corrosion resistance and cutting ability. This knife cuts like no stainless steel blade has ever cut before!
- Blade length: 26,4 cm.
- Blade finish: Mystic mist
- Steel: 1,4109 Stainless steel.

* Stabilization of wood is a process in which the tree is saturated with artificial resin to strengthen it and close all microcose Whip cracks and holes.
About MKnives - Moustache
In Sander Miesse's workshop, sparks and the beating of heavy metal music rains down upon you. The dust mask is removed, the tips of his mustache are sharpened and the music is turned off.
Sander relays: ...The knife virus bit me early. My first knife, a kind of camping knife, I made from an old nail file at 4 years old.
As a 19-year-old, having just left home - I had no money to buy a decent knife. So I started studying the knife maker's craft - and five years later I started the knife factory Moustache Knives - or MKnives As it is also called.
It takes about 15 hours to make a complete knife. This, of course, means a high price point. But Sander says it's not so bad. He gives a lifetime guarantee on every knife.
I hate the use-and-discard society. A good, expensive knife lasts all your life, and can be inherited from generation to generation, as opposed to a bad, cheap knife which you'll have to replace every couple of years.
My knives are forged in both 1.4109 stainless steel with a hardness of 60 - 61 HRC, and in Sanmai steel with a core of carbon fibre steel.
The stainless blades I make are easy to maintain and have a sharpness and cutting ability that fully match carbon steel and other types of Japanese knife blades.
One of the advantages of my blades is that they don't chip or rust. Moreover, they stay absurdly sharp for a very long time, and therefore very rarely need to be sanded.

In general
All product photos are real photos of the specific products. However, some photos have added interiors and surroundings created using artificial intelligence to create atmosphere and put the product into context.
Regarding Woodworks
We aim to continuously expand the catalog so that sizes and designs are best illustrated in the webshop.
There are not photos of all variants and sizes, so the photo that appears when choosing a variant in the webshop mainly reflects only the type of wood - not necessarily size or other variations in the design.
NOTE that we always try to create unique wooden products with an exciting visual expression. You must therefore take our product photos as a guide and not as a guarantee of how the finished product appears in terms of year drawings and color play.
Any questions?
If you have questions about the choice of design, sizes, colors or type of wood - or if you have special wishes, you are always very welcome to contact us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk and get your questions clarified before you order.
