An In Depth Look

Blade Type

The Gyuto is the do-it-all, general purpose chef's knife. If you are looking for an all-rounder that can handle daily veg and protein prep and portioning, this is the one! A 210mm edge length is the most common, but try a 240mm if you prefer larger knives.

Steel Type Read

Japanese Blue Steel #2, or "Aogami" #2, is a revered high-carbon steel alloyed with low amounts of chromium and tungsten. It strikes an excellent balance between durability, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. Slightly more ductile than Blue #1, it's widely used in crafting traditional Japanese knives, beloved by chefs for its resilience and sharpness, albeit is slightly softer than Blue 1.

Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

Currently serving as the president of the renowned Takefu Knife Village Cooperative, Kamo-san produces knives admired for their consistently precise grinds, refined blade finishes, and meticulous attention to detail. His expertise with steels, particularly his celebrated heat treatment of R2 stainless steel, ensures blades with phenomenal cutting performance and outstanding edge retention.

Beast of a knife

Overjoyed

Beautiful knife with a lovely design and masterful edge. Perfect knife for the collection

First japanese knife

The knife came extremely well wrapped with bubble wrap. Once unpacked the knife look really nice. Almost a shame to start using it. This knife came SHARP. On first use, it cut through everything very easy with barely any resistance. Definitely will be my go to knife for a long time to come.
