Blade Hardness
HRC (Rockwell Hardness) measures how hard the blade's steel is. Kitchen knife steel typically falls in the high-50s to mid-60s on this scale. Harder steel is built to hold a fine edge over long use, while softer steel favors flexibility and easy resharpening. The right HRC depends on the steel and design, not a single higher-is-better number.
Stain Resistant
This steel resists rust and staining from moisture and acidic foods, making it easy to maintain with routine care.
Saya Cover
This knife comes with its saya cover included at no additional cost, shaped to its exact blade for the same custom fit customers pay extra for on other knives.

Product Details
Our Ice Hardened Molybdenum Series knives are forged from a single piece of high-carbon AUS10 stainless steel. The Ice Hardening process enhances the steel’s hardness and resilience, creating a blade that’s both lightweight and razor-sharp.
The Gyuto is known as the most versatile Japanese kitchen knife. It’s perfect for slicing vegetables, chopping herbs, or carving meats. Whether you’re cooking for one or preparing a large meal, this knife delivers consistent, precise performance.
The blade features a gently curved profile for smooth rocking cuts, with a pointed tip that adds control for detailed prep. Its thin, double-edged design makes every cut efficient and clean.
This knife is paired with a handcrafted Ocean Blue handle that adds both beauty and comfort. It is finished with a natural water buffalo horn bolster for balance and control. Please note, the color of the horn may vary due to the natural character of the material.
A custom-fit wooden saya (sheath) is included. It protects the blade and adds a refined presentation when not in use.
With its combination of sharpness, durability, and craftsmanship, the Ice Hardened Wa Gyuto is a reliable tool for both home cooks and professionals alike.
