Apex Line — Gyuto

Built for every kitchen.

Monolith Apex Line is where consistency meets craft. Our custom knives will always be the heart of Monolith — singular pieces where we experiment, refine, and push our craft forward — and the Apex Line exists because of that work. It takes the design principles, materials, and details we’ve developed in our customs and brings them into a consistent, reliable knife you can depend on every day.

The Gyuto is the Japanese chef’s knife, with a longer blade and gentle curve that handles everything from proteins to vegetables and anything in between. It’s a powerful all-rounder and the go-to knife for tackling big prep tasks.

Each blade is made from Takefu Aogami Super steel, clad in stainless steel for protection, with a forged distal taper. Handles combine a CNC-machined brass ferrule with stabilized, locally sourced walnut for balance, durability, and timeless feel.

Care Note

Aogami Super is a high-carbon steel. It will naturally develop a patina with use. As with all our knives, hand-wash and dry promptly after each use, and avoid leaving it wet or in contact with acidic foods for long periods. With simple care, the blade will last a lifetime.
