Features of this Knife
This exceptional Chef’s Knife (Gyuto) is forged with a powdered high-speed steel core using advanced powder metallurgy technology. With a hardness of HRC 62+, it delivers outstanding sharpness, long-lasting edge retention, and resilience. The finely controlled steel structure enhances toughness and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for daily use.
The Gyuto is the Japanese equivalent of the Western chef’s knife. Featuring a slightly curved edge and pointed tip, it is highly versatile and well suited for both cutting and precision tasks. It is trusted by professional chefs and home cooks alike.
The high-performance core is clad in 13 Chrome Stainless Steel, adding durability and resistance to wear. A metal bolster between the blade and handle improves balance, protects the user’s hand, and adds a refined aesthetic to the knife.
The knife is presented in a black embossed paulownia wood box, making it an excellent choice for a gift or a collector’s piece.
