KNIVES
Tank & Steel – Leviathan 310
The Leviathan 310 is built as a statement performance knife for serious kitchen work.
Designed for high-volume prep and demanding ingredients, this long gyuto combines powerful stiffness at the heel with a highly refined, precise tip through an aggressive distal taper.
Forged from tough 80CrV2 high-carbon steel and heat treated to approximately 62 HRC at the edge, the blade offers exceptional cutting bite, edge stability and durability. The hand-ground geometry is optimized for efficient food separation and confident push or draw cutting across a wide range of products.
A subtle hand-finished kasumi surface with visible hamon gives the blade a raw, forged character while maintaining a clean and functional aesthetic. The stabilized curly birch hardwood handle provides a secure grip and visual depth, completing the knife’s brutal yet refined presence.
This piece reflects the Tank & Steel philosophy: uncompromising performance, honest high quality materials and purposeful design.

Tank & Steel – K-Tip san mai Gyuto
A long, aggressive Gyuto designed for precision work and fine slicing.
The blade is forged from an 80CrV2 core with stainless steel cladding (San Mai construction). The high-carbon core takes a fine, durable edge while the stainless cladding reduces maintenance and adds contrast to the blade finish.
The K-tip profile provides excellent control for detailed cuts while still offering enough length for larger prep tasks. A subtle forged texture and hand-finished bevels give the blade its raw, functional character.
The handle is crafted from dark american Walnut, shaped with subtle facets for a secure and comfortable grip.
Built as a versatile kitchen companion — capable of everything from precise vegetable work to trimming proteins and slicing smaller ingredients.
