An In depth look

Blade Type

The Gyuto knife, a cornerstone of Japanese culinary tradition, is a versatile, all-purpose chef's knife. Its name, translating to "beef sword," reflects its proficiency in slicing meat and in more modern times vegetables. However, its slightly curved blade excels in chopping, dicing, and mincing, making it indispensable in any kitchen.

Steel Type

Japanese SLD steel is a semi-stainless steel crafted through advanced metallurgy. It is used often in Sanjo knives, has a non-chippy edge and is extremely tough. This high-carbon steel, enriched with chromium and molybdenum, offers excellent performance, but be mindful not to leave it wet for extended periods.

Care Information

This knife is made from a high-carbon, semi-stainless steel and will be robust and resistant to rust. While it will not rust quickly like pure carbon, it is still best practice to not leave this knife wet for extended periods as it's stain-less, not stain-none! A light patina (colouration and seasoning of the steel) will still form over time.

Gorgeous knife

Beautiful handle, gorgeous finish of the blade and quite sturdy despite being thinner. To top it off, the price is fairly reasonable

I love it that much I bought some more

Great balanced, sharp knife. Looks great. Feels great. I've recommended you guys to every chef I have spoken too since the purchase. If you need an agent in the UK then give me a shout.

Nothing to complain about

If you’re looking for a light, think Gyuto that makes very fine sharp cuts then this knife is seriously what you need. The blade is razor sharp and easy to maintain. The handle looks amazing and doesn’t slip when holding. And overall just looks very cool.
