Authentic Japanese Kitchen Knife
Discover this high-quality Japanese Chef’s Knife (Gyuto), made in Tsubame City, Japan.
Features of this Knife
Featuring a VG-10 stainless steel core, this knife offers excellent sharpness, durability, and corrosion resistance. VG-10 is highly regarded in Japan for its reliable, high-performance cutting ability.
The blade edge is hand-finished by skilled craftsmen in Tsubame, ensuring exceptional sharpness and consistency.
While VG-10 knives are typically more expensive, this model is made more affordable by using a thinner blade (approx. 1.5mm), without compromising everyday usability.
The thin blade design provides exceptional lightness, easy handling, and smooth cutting performance, making it ideal for home use. Its slightly more robust edge geometry helps improve durability and edge retention compared to typical thin blades, although it is not intended for cutting very hard ingredients or bones.
The Gyuto is the Japanese name for the chef’s knife. With its slightly curved edge and pointed tip, it is highly versatile, suitable for both cutting and precision tasks. Whether you’re chopping vegetables, slicing meat, or handling detailed work, this chef’s knife adapts with ease and control.
